STAY AWAY!

Reporter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a job, I guess. Beyond that, run away.

Cons

Pay is minimal. The cheaper you are available, the more likely they will hire you. Job descriptions are lies. Reporter positions will be listed for a single location but the position is then utilized to cover multiple newspapers. Claims of being "the best local news coverage" are laughable when press releases are used as front page stories without being altered.

Good Company in a shrinking industry

Multimedia account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Tools and Products. The company had an amazing number of products that you can sell to local businesses. A robust suite of digital marketing solutions.

Cons

Public perception is still that of a traditional newspaper company. Trying to gain new digital revenue streams often hampered by hanging onto remaining print advertisers.
