We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

I require insights into the field of legal journalism.
1. Where can a fresh law graduate work as a legal correspondent? I know Live Law and Bar and Bench. Besides these, does The Print (I admire their investigative journalism) offer opportunities to lawyers seeking to report and write on socio-legal issues?
2. In general, what is the remuneration of the legal journalists/correspondents?
3. What is the work culture in respect of legal journalism? Does one have to work from office or is work from home allowed (excluding the time required for news coverage in various places)?
I am familiar with the work of a NUJS graduate currently working at BBC as a correspondent. Loved his career trajectory.
Please, if anyone can share some information on the above, it would be of great help.
Thanks!
Please speak to the guy you know yourself, they have better idea on this.
