"This study deals with professionalism in journalism in the town of Santiago de Chile — It involves 235 journalists — According to this study the main characteristics of Chilean journalists are that the majority are male, born in Chile, relatively young and of a relatively average standard of education (high school standard in the United States); they generally work long hours for low pay, which means that they have to have an additional job — They have a favourable attitude towards journalism education and are anxious to prove that they are true professionals in their career."
