The RTDNA is out with a study that claims that TV news salaries beat inflation.

The RTDNA writes, “After two critical years of falling well behind inflation, TV news salaries made up a fair amount of that shortfall. The latest RTDNA/Newhouse School at Syracuse University Survey found that local television news salaries rose by 7.5% in 2023. That is ahead of the last couple years, and well ahead of inflation, which was up 3.1% in 2023. That means real TV news wages rose by 4.4% in 2023.”

With Nexstar offering just 1% raises and Sinclair doing basically the same, I’m not sure I’m buying these numbers.

Judging by the hundreds of you who sent us this story with your comments, I think you feel the same way.
