Okay, let’s tackle this. So John Dorschner has 43 years of experience as a reporter, which is extremely long. This is a journalism background, not a technical field like software development. Location is Miami, Florida, which is not a hub for high-paying journalism roles. Industry standards for journalists with his experience are generally lower than for technical professionals. Median rates for experienced journalists in the US are around $40-$60 per hour. Considering his longevity and experience, maybe a bit higher, but still in the lower range. Let’s estimate around $75 per hour.
