Pros

This is a very good news organization with many talented and committed people, the problem is poor management from Tribune, which seems intent on running the company into the ground. Layoffs have become too frequent.

Cons

Layoffs! Poor communication from senior management, Tribune Tower's control of the paper. The rush to develop web content has been done in a disjointed way, and hasn't involved enough of the print employees.

Pros

The management was supportive and responsive. I never had any issues.

Cons

It is a far commute for those who are remote and need to work in the office.

Pros

Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

Cons

Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
