Is Journalism (particularly investigative journalism), a good option after law school? Is it possible to get a high-paying job in journalism as a fresh law graduate?
What is the salary to young lawyers who are doing reporting for leading legal papers like LiveLaw and Bar and Bench?

[Moderator note: transferred to this thread since related]
Would love to hear Kian answer this question. It's ironic how good legal journalists never get interviewed and hence, legal journalism as a career option is so less publicized. @Kian: Please interview yourself and also get few of your colleagues from other news outlets.
Bring Kian back.And also make LI alive again.I so feel terrible seeing the current state of LI.
Low pay as NLU brand still lacks the prestige of IIT/IIM for the common man and among journalists. They will probably give more importance to a Stephen's/Ashoka brand.
Dude

Stop your useless obsession about NLU NLU NON-NLU TIER 1 TIER 10 IIT IIM

The question is not even related to that. There are many NLU NLU NON-NLU TIER 1 TIER 10 IIT IIM Questions here on LI where you can go and spam.
They didn't talk about tiers.
It was a general analogy (NLUs in law with St Stephen's in humanities or IITs in engineering).
Kitna frustration hai? Go blow off some steam at your local gym.
And if you work with a prestigious news house like Indian express; then is it less too there also?
Can't tell exactly but I've heard the pay ranges from 30-40k a month.

Wow, if these numbers are correct, then legal reporting for online portals pays better than actually litigating before some of these High Courts.
