Abstract

This article explored potential stress-related effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on working journalists. Approximately 500 U.S.-based professional journalists were surveyed on issues related to COVID-19-related stress, job satisfaction, and feelings of occupational alienation. The results suggested that COVID-19-related stress was associated with decreased job satisfaction, which, in turn, was associated with enhanced feelings of occupational alienation. We also found that COVID-related professional performance stressors were significantly associated with feelings of occupational alienation. Finally, the results suggested that journalists who identify as women may disproportionally experience certain forms of COVID-19-related stress.
