The 1111 Jobs Bank made a survey of Taiwanese journalists Aug. 14-28 as Reporters Day falls on Sept. 1. Out of 376 valid samples, 91 per cent of TV reporters said they wanted to leave their jobs, compared with 87 per cent of magazine reporters and 72 per cent working for Internet media.
The survey said 85 per cent of female reporters are considering switching jobs, compared to 81 per cent of male reporters.
Why are they so fed up? A little over 44 per cent of journalists said they were most troubled by "not being able to make an appointment with an interviewee, " while 31.38 per cent felt the profession held no future.
