&lt;p&gt;The good folks over at Pew Research Center recently published an in-depth analysis of the make-up of the Washington Press Corp, including details of how it compares to 2009.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No, wait, don&#39;t leave yet: as niche as that might sound as a topic, it&#39;s something that should be of interest to anyone who cares about where our news comes from--and especially if a career in the media is something that you&#39;ve grown up with a burning desire to pursue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Consider, for example, the following chart, detailing how the makeup of the press corps has changed over the past handful of years:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.journalism.org/2015/12/03/todays-washington-press-corps-more-digital-specialized/pj_2015-12-03_washington-press-corps_1-01/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.journalism.org/files/2015/12/PJ_2015-12-03_washington-press-corps_1-01.png&quot; width=&quot;420&quot; height=&quot;230&quot; alt=&quot;The makeup of today’s Washington press corps&quot; class=&quot;attachment-large&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That figure you see for &quot;niche outlet&quot; includes everything from outlets like Buzzfeed and Politico to subscription-based services that provide high-level analysis to whoever is prepared to pay for it. Those positions now outnumber traditional newspaper reporters in the Capital--a pattern that is very likely true everywhere else in the news industry, and which only seems likely to continue developing along similar lines in the years ahead.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And then there&#39;s this chart, which shows the rate of growth of journalists from &quot;digital native&quot; publications:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.journalism.org/2015/12/03/todays-washington-press-corps-more-digital-specialized/pj_2015-12-03_washington-press-corps_0-01/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.journalism.org/files/2015/12/PJ_2015-12-03_washington-press-corps_0-01.png&quot; width=&quot;309&quot; height=&quot;838&quot; alt=&quot;In the Washington press corps, niche, digital media expand as print scales back&quot; class=&quot;attachment-large&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So if you&#39;re thinking about a career in media, the takeaway from this one is easy: the establishment media is not where the jobs are.&lt;/p&gt;
