Journalists are quick to point out the perks of their job. For me, that includes knowing things before others do, talking with high-profile people and poking my nose where it doesn’t belong.

But what about the bad side of journalism? Well… most people tend to sweep it under the rug. Now, thankfully there is a web site to vent our anger: AngryJournalist.com. You get to hear complaining from every angle: editors about reporters, reporters about editors, crappy pay, hours and benefits.

It’s all there in black and white. Even if you don’t post there, it’s good therapy to just read and know that other people have bad experiences too.

Tons of trades have had websites where they can vent their bad experiences, like tipthepizzaguy.com, bitterwaittress.com and any number of other groups if you just add “sucks” to the end of a search string.
