Pros

There's a wide breadth of knowledge in the newsroom, as well as opportunities for development and growth, but only if you're willing to put in very long hours.

Cons

There is an over-reliance on analytics and clicks to dictate content, rather than letting newsworthiness guide story assignments.

Pros

Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

Cons

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
