Abstract
The aim of the paper is to analyse journalistic activity within the employment system in Germany. The research was done for dependent and independent employed journalists. Regarding the gender imbalance no remarkably differences were found between freelance journalists and staff writers. However, journalistic work shows considerable variations concerning the income and its distribution. Some journalists have an exceptionally high income whereas the income situation of others has to be considered as precarious. Therefore it is not surprising that between ten and twenty per cent of journalists have a second or even third job. Furthermore, the results show that there is no typical pattern of a journalistic occupation and its forms of employment, where the journalistic existence is split into free-lancing on the one side and staff writers on the other side. There is a diversity of forms, entities, thereby arranging ways in which creators of media appear.
