Do journalists have their own websites?

Journalists are professionals in charge of providing us with access to information, outside of traditional media, which by the way only houses a tiny percentage of these professionals, and social networks, which little by little have come to become an ocean of misinformation, full of inexperienced people: lacking any ethics, regulatory body or prior analysis; stating the possible facts that reach them, without even giving themselves a single second to investigate the sources.

A website is a tool that allows us to stand out among all the information on the internet. It's almost like a modern business card. That a journalist lacks this tool is alarming, to say the least, since outside of the few who manage to reach the traditional media, they get lost in that great ocean that I mentioned previously.



In Argentina the data tells us that we can only find the 17.39% of hired journalists on the web.

In United Kingdom only 11.82% of employees,





and finally we see United States widely exceeding the margin of these other two countries with a 29.55%. Even so, none of them manage to reach 30%.





The comparative graph between the 3 countries available in journalistDatabase, is divided into two parts: "no" (referring to: "does not have a website") and "yes" (referring to: "has a website"), reveals that:

In third place are journalists from United Kingdom with the lowest percentage of web presence, followed by Argentina and in first place we find United States with the dominant web presence of its hired journalists.
