Business Outlook
Pros
It's a company that tends to be more focused on journalism per se...and that tends to keep things professional and steady, not too focused on the immediate, short-term, but more on quality, performance and results over time (both personally and the entire newsroom.) Note, this does not apply to financial considerations with the company.
Cons
Gannett's operations may be focused on journalism, but it tends to be a rather light, less consequential focus. It's brand of journalism is very much 'USA Today;' more flashy and simplistic. It ain't the NY Times. But having said that, it can mean a more serious devotion to 'real' news than many stations in local markets. Less flash and trash, more 'human interest' reporting, etc.
