BEIJING, Nov. 8 (Xinhuanet) -- Most reporters in China want to seek other jobs due to low salary and other reasons, according to a survey recently carried out by Zhaopin.com, one of the leading Web-based headhunters in China.

    The survey of 500 people, two-thirds of them working in the media industry, found more than half the correspondents are not interested in being a reporter and nearly 80 percent want to change their profession, reported Tuesday's China Daily.

    More than 60 percent of reporters have a monthly salary of less than 3,000 yuan (370 US dollars), said the survey, taking poor salaries as one of the reasons for the lack of interest in reporting jobs.

    "A reporter's glory days appear to be over," concluded the survey, claiming holding a reporting job less desirable, more risky and unstable.

    China's media industry is estimated to have around 750,000 people working for it, said the newspaper. Enditem
