Salary levels and general working conditions
for journalists and other media practitioners are
adequate.
Salary levels are generally low. There are also great discrepancies between the
different salary levels. Subsidies for management positions are so high that they
create a vast gap between managers and junior staff, with differences in salary
amounting to up to US$1,000. Purchasing power has fallen by 30 percent over
the past six years. The lowest salary at Radio Ecclesia is US$380. At Nova Media,
which owns the weekly O País, TV Zimbo, Rádio Maisand the weekly Semanário
Económico (Business Weekly), the minimum salary is US$1,800. There are
reporters with salaries that vary from US$2,000 to US$2,500 per month, while
editors receive a monthly salary of US$4,000.
