Derek Thompson has some highlights from an Indiana University survey of more than 1,000 journalists who were asked about the state of their trade. The results are downright depressing: Almost three in five say journalism is heading in the wrong direction. Less than one-quarter say they are "very satisfied" with their jobs. They're well educated, but — especially women — not very well paid. More from Romenesko, who notes a drop in minorities.
