      Pros

      Despite the recent upheaval it remains a storied institution with a powerful newsroom that continues to get great scoops. Lots of willingness among leadership to tear things up; no sacred cows. For the right person, being at a respected organization at a moment of such immense change could provide opportunities.

      Cons

      Very poor communication/transparency from the executive team. Many big decisions can feel arbitrary and even cruel. Not a clear plan for the path forward, or a track record of aligning resources with goals.
