Sponsored by Readex Research Against a backdrop of sustained industry instability, editorial salaries have remained relatively consistent year-over-year, according to data from Folio:’s annual survey of compensation levels at consumer, B2B and association magazine publishers, conducted in partnership with Readex Research. A sample of 255 editors from across the U.S.—about half of whom identified as editors-in-chief, with the other half split between junior-level/associate editors and operational-level/managing editors—indicated that EIC’s at the 50th percentile earned a total of $97,900 last year, including bonuses, compared to $94,500 in 2017. Managing editors reported a median pay of $82,500, down slightly from $84,300 the previous year, with associate editors reporting total compensation of $60,500—up from $56,800 a year ago. At every level, however, a glaring trend in these annual surveys endures: male editors continue to significantly out-earn females performing similar job duties. A sample of 64 female and 59 male editors-in-chief indicated that women in such roles earned $0.83 for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. Across 79 respondents at the managing-editor level, that figure was $0.86, while at the associate level it dropped to $0.76, based on a smaller sample of 42 respondents.
