Thank you for the feedback. As The Times continues to transform under the direction of our CEO and Publisher, Ross Levinsohn, our leadership team acknowledges the need to unite the values and standards of traditional media with the dynamics of digital publishing. We’ll continue to make great journalism and our digital transformation priorities at The Times.
Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.
Cons
Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
