| Abstract | Analysis of surveys administered each year by the Radio-Television News Directors Association to news directors throughout the country reveals that a number of changes have occurred since 1972. The number of women and college graduates who are news directors has increased, although the median age of news directors, 38 in television and 31 in radio in 1985, has changed little. In addition, news director job turnover has increased. Median time in their present jobs, 2.2 years in television and 1.8 in radio in 1985, was approximately one year less than the time reported by survey respondents in 1972. Local news became an increasing money-maker, more so in television than in radio. On the average, television staffs doubled in size, while radio news staffs remained unchanged. Television news directors' salaries in 1985 were twice as large as those of radio news directors. Many news directors reported that if they left broadcast news, it would most likely be for professional advancement or better salaries. The results suggest that news director turnover, which may be partially attributed to the fact that local news has become a major source of revenue, may lower standards of professionalism. However, opportunities for news directors to become station managers are growing. It appears that television holds more potential for aspiring journalist-managers than does radio.
