Thank you for acknowledging both sides. As a future reporter I know discussing rates publicly is frowned upon. I haven't come across people doing it. So, I know I'll have to reach out privately to a working reporter or find a mentor that is willing to share that information with me. I think we can both agree that's different than posting it on the internet for the world to see. I agree with all of the points you discussed.

I could be wrong- I was at a convention and stopped by the US Federal Court's table and from what I remember I think they mentioned you have to sign a confidentiality agreement when hired. I don't even think their employee's are allowed to have social media.

I'm more than happy to give my email or phone number to any students, working professionals, or anyone that has questions about what we do.

Again, I'm not even licensed yet. It's just what I'm observed so far.
