ROFL! Lemme put it this way. Not a single photojournalist got into this business because they were worried about the size of their paycheck. They're all universally small

All my stuff goes out on TV, and my station has chosen not to make any of our stories available online. I can tell you more about what I do, however. I'm a general-assignment photojournalist and the chief photographer for my station. That means I go shoot whatever the assignment editor tells me to shoot (in other words, I don't specialize in one specific area. I cover EVERY subject you can think of). As chief, I also "supervise" (I hate that word - we're a team, and none of my guys really needs "supervision") the other photojournalists, maintain all of our equipment/vehicles, and badger the news director on a daily basis for more money to buy more equipment.
Watch your local newscast. Just about any story you see there, I can almost guarantee I've done a similar one (with the exception of earthquake coverage - never been in one of those yet), so feel free to ask anything.
