Pros
The LATimes was probably the best newspaper in the country for a reporter/writer at one time. Editors gave wide room to accomplished writers and, if lucky, a writer could pursue a good story for many months. It was a fun, supportive, creative, and ambitious place.
Cons
Sadly that has changed over the last decade, through ownership and leadership changes, bankruptcy, and overall decline in the industry. Most of the senior writers have left. Sure, there was a lot of fat at one time, but now the place has gone to the other extreme.
