As of Oct. 27, 2008, the salaries of Daily Reveille managment are posted on the salary database. These salaries are accurate for the fall 2008 semester only. Because these are student worker salaries, and also because they are scheduled on a per-semester basis, they are not included in the salary sum or in the calculations of the average and median salaries.

Good luck getting assistance from any professional on LSU's staff in the future when working on stories, etc.
Talk about burning bridges!
They are STUDENT WORKERS, so they make MINIMUM WAGE. Geez people. I don't know why the student salaries aren't listed, but clearly there's some reason they can't be or else they would be. Why are you so interested in a bunch of students making 30 dollars a week anyway? Grow up. The Reveille writers definitely aren't doing it for the money, they're just undergraduates trying to get an education like everyone else.
