About $35k per year, give or take. If your name gets big and you stick with the same paper for a long time, you can get into the 60's or 70's, but that is rare, even at a big-name paper.

The larger the market, typically the more money you can make. HOWEVER, often times to get into a large market, you must start in a much smaller one (or at least a much smaller operation than the Tribune). In a small operation, it is not unheard of to be making only $20,000-25,000 per year. You need to stick with it, collecting your best clips to show larger employers, and perhaps even get some internet publishing experience since so many newspapers have online editions and supplements. Do NOT go into this field looking for a big salary right out of college. It won't happen. Do this because you love it, and are willing to work long hours for low pay. You can eventually make a respecable living, but don't think it will happen overnight.
