Pros

-Name recognition on resume. You’re working somewhere reputable (great for internships all the way to long term employment) -You’re right in the middle of news and will be in the know when it comes to local and global affairs. Feels good to be informed & know that your work is being utilized, rather than being bogged down with busy work all day.

Cons

-Association with politicization of company -If you work in the newsroom, you can work at any time, which to be expected but sometimes you misjudge the toll that shift work can have on you. Imagine switching from 7am-3pm to 7pm-3am. -Too few flexible work arrangements for employees whose job permits remote work
