RESULTS: Muck Rack's 2021 State of Journalism Survey

 

The results of Muck Rack's State of Journalism Survey are now available.

 

While the survey was not exclusive to environmental journalism, 25 percent of the 2400+ journalists surveyed said their work included coverage of "energy and environment."

 

Data Point Highlights:

• 94% of journalists say that some, most or all of their reporting has pivoted to angles related to COVID-19.
• While 19% of journalists say they have less work in general, 23% say they have a larger workload due to the layoffs and furloughs of others where they work.
• The average journalist covers 3 or more beats.
