Pros
TEGNA embraces creativity. They reject the stereotypical news style and want to create content that viewers truly value and return to. This creates lanes for the multi-skilled journalists to explore, allowing them to test boundaries of traditional news programming.
Cons
The lifestyle is not great with schedules consistently changing due to various reasons. Obviously, the pay in local news is poor. As I told a former news director, reporters are paid enough to survive, but not enough to live. You have to love the hustle and bustle of local news or else you will hate this line of work.
