Pros

You will definitely learn a great deal about journalism and about business in this environment, but don't pin your hopes on moving up the ladder, especially as the hiring is very slow. An internship is a good start, but it won't get you an "in." Use this time making good impressions and it may lead to an entry-level position which will get you an "in." They hire from their pool of entry-level positions, so do good work and be willing to learn, make suggestions, and challenge the way things have always been done.

Cons

Sometimes they don't appreciate really good workers, and cut out positions regardless of the need within a department. But compared with elsewhere in the industry, especially non-trade pubs, it's not so bad.

Pros

Excellent place for developing talent. Lots of opportunities for writing interesting stories. A very talented staff of writers and editors.

Cons

There aren't a lot of opportunities for full-time employment there, most temporary and intern work. Budget for salaries seems tight.
