I've had a number of those jobs & since I like what I do, I'd say it's accurate. The pay scale is pretty crazy, tho', even allowing for the exchange rate.

In Canada, only the creme de la creme editors make $100,000 a year. The higher pay rates are usually for columnists. One of the highest paid columnists/reporters for a newspaper I know makes $250,000.

Actually, our top-paid TV anchors make only $2-3 million/yr. Compare that to Katie Couric's latest deal -- $25 million for three years or something like that?
