Business Outlook
Pros
I work at a local paper, so I can't speak for the entire company. But here are my observations: - Dedicated local staff that really believes in what they do and wants to keep local journalism alive - New web sites and print design have modernized the products - Good place to learn and practice new media skills
Cons
- Overall business plan failing, hedge fund owner looking to sell properties and titles - Multiple rounds of layoffs cutting into and degrading the core editorial product - Pay low even for this business, plus high co-pay / contributions on health care plan; no raises for several years - Future very murky at the moment
