CHINA: Risky news career draws thousands How intense is the competition for jobs among university graduates on the mainland? South China Morning Post Wednesday, December 17, 2003 By Leu Siew Ying How intense is the competition for jobs among university graduates on the mainland? So fierce that more than 25,000 people applied for 200 jobs as journalists for the Guangdong-based Southern Daily Group. And that after a study ranked being a reporter as the third most dangerous career, after coal mining and police work. A lecturer in journalism at the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies said media companies had a reputation for offering generous salaries and the jobs could be filled by graduates from almost any discipline. The Southern Daily Group ranked 20th in a list of the top 500 mainland companies favoured by job-hunting graduates in 2001. Starting pay is 2,000 yuan a month but reporters can make up to 6,000 yuan more, depending on their productivity. "Moreover, Southern Daily is recognised as a brand leader in the media industry," the lecturer said. "A lot of journalism majors like to work for the Southern Daily Group because it is seen as a place that nurtures young journalists." asiamedia.ucla.edu
