“…Recent research related to job satisfaction among racial minorities is scarce, however. In a 2014 survey of Latin/a journalists working in mainstream media as well as ethnic media, Flores and Subervi (2014) found that 52% of reporters (working on all platforms) were satisfied with “the type and amount of work” but only 20% were satisfied with on-the-job training, and 48% “indicated that opportunities to obtain professional training would significantly increase their probabilities to stay working at their current place of employment” (p. 462).

As members of the media, TV news workers were considered essential employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many employees went into the field to cover stories related to the pandemic, which included anti-mask and lock-down protests. This mixed-methods study explored the extent to which TV news workers perceived organizational support from their news organizations during the crisis. Findings of a national survey of TV news employees (N = 173) show market size (larger), membership in professional organizations, access to counseling services, and resources on best practices of covering COVID-19 correlated with positive perceptions of employers during the pandemic. In turn, these positive perceptions, as well as manageable job demands and high decision authority each correlated with overall job satisfaction. Qualitative findings further illustrated the varying steps TV news managers took to support and protect their employees’ health and safety during the crisis.
