Much as i share the views of many, I believe it is also vital to remember that ours is the poorest country on Mother Earth. This means that even those – who we consider as being well paid – wouldn’t be getting their current salaries if they were in countries where economies are growing. We also need to understand that the best journalist is one who studied something else at Basic Degree level before undertaking post-graduate studies in Journalism or Mass Communication. Such a journalist will be able to specialize in at least one area and be a point of… Read more »

This is a nice piece of work but it doesn’t go deep enough in its analysis. Before just castigating the employer, PM, as a journalist herself, should have investigated thoroughly why some of the journalists are paid low, because in the same profession there are others who are laughing all the way to the bank come month end. When you read international newspapers and then compare to our papers, you can see a glaring discrepancy in both presentation and narration of stories. be they factual or fiction. The same goes for our TV stations, you are amazed with the mediocrity… Read more »

It is a big shame that in many cases these days, young men and women are not advised properly by parents or guardians when it comes to careers as they are about to complete their secondary or high schools. Journalism in Malawi does not have a job market. Hundreds of young people join MIJ and other related institutions every year but they end up forking hundreds of thousands of kwachas for a career with which they will struggle to get employed. It is a fact that most of the names we listen to on radio or watch on TV appear… Read more »

Madam Masinga, Most Journalists (my respect to the graduate journos) in Malawi have only MSCE spiced with a certificate from uncredited schools. Do you want them to be paid the same package lawyers get? No way! Advise them to go for higher qualifications then they will reap the best fruits. Most media houses including TVM take advantage of this. However, the end result is substandard reports. Just check the blunders TVM makes. They cant spell or articulate words properly. Yet we have editors and respected bosses working with them. I admire the old MBC during the time of Kamuzu. Everything… Read more »

In addition to what you have written, lets look at this religious radio station which belongs to Mpingo wa Atsogo.

It is a shame for a christian institution not to be paying its employees…
