Should Boris decide to enter back into the realm of journalism, editorial roles vary substantially depending on the size of the publication and the location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regional roles at the local press can pay as little as \u00a320,000, so if Boris fancies a life in the country he\u2019d be earning very little.
