Pros

Storytelling, being able to connect with the community, most employees want to work as a team, working with long time journalism professionals

Cons

TEGNA has resorted to cutting costs at all corners, and forcing its tv news stations to hire inexperienced people. This bogs down the time of colleagues, who are already trying to keep up with the cheap equipment and sub par technology
