Okay, let’s tackle this. So Rob Schaefer has 24 years of experience in broadcast journalism and producing, which is a significant amount of time. He’s worked at two major organizations, National Public Radio and Westwood One, which suggests a level of expertise. Skills like audio editing, Adobe Audition, and field producing are in demand, but not necessarily high-paying. Location is New Alexandria, Virginia, which is a smaller market. Considering the experience and skills, I’d estimate an hourly rate around $120, which is on the lower end of the scale for experienced broadcast journalists and producers. Maybe $150–$200 per hour for someone with his level of experience and skills, but I’m being conservative here.
