I am graduating from J. school in May and beginning to send out my resume/clips/cover letters/the whole nine to local (and not so local) pubs I want to work for. One weekly has an online application that asks for expected salary, and I don't know what to ask for in this city, especially at my experience level. Is there an online resource that compiles starting level salaries, even better if its broken down by city?

What city are you in?
Generally speaking, beginning journalism jobs are around $30k or under, depending on the city/publication/position

i am stuck
I am interested in doing my internship but the thing is i am having a problem securing a company that is willing to pay me for my services. I know that i want the experience but do you think that it is fair for me to work for nothing?

The job would be in Atlanta.
