Great people to work with. Photographers and producers and everyone worked together as a team.

Management did not care about the heavy turnover. Worked people crazy hours and then did not want to pay them the overtime.

Pros

Working for the local news was a fun, educational experience. As an intern, I was more than satisfied with what I walked away with. I met incredible people, experienced many aspects of working in the news, and walked away with what I needed to graduate from college. My writing skills improved dramatically and felt comfortable enough with my supervisors to ask for advice when needed.

Cons

The cons that you'll find in any news agency are the same as what you'll find here. The environment is very fast paced and you're flooded with bad news all the time. As a news intern, however, this experience is invaluable.
