Pros

Great publishing platform with the history talent and potential to be a formidable voice in media.

Cons

Management seems to be either out of touch with what the paper is capable of or too afraid to do anything in order to tow the corporate line, which is in direct opposition to the tenants of creating good journalism. Stripping resources and cow-towing to the demands of the "bean counters" restricts freedom to produce worthwhile and impactful journalism.

Pros

The management was supportive and responsive. I never had any issues.

Cons

It is a far commute for those who are remote and need to work in the office.

Pros

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.
