Good Coworkers, Bad Management and Company Decisions - Reporter Lee Enterprises Employee Review

Management was horrible and absolutely inept; the publisher schmoozed the local business community and held certain political figures as essentially untouchable in the paper, while the editor didn't push back against this at all. The city the paper is based in is about 50% POC but the editor and publisher showed almost no interest in covering nonwhite communities except for crime stories, and in fact put a moratorium on covering systemic racism. Pay was roughly equivalent to working at the local Amazon plant, and health insurance alone was about 1/3 of a paycheck.
