Pros

Surrounded by some of the best minds in journalism. They continue to lead the way in navigating the digital disruption. However, it is still a white male dominated newsroom.

Cons

An official policy of not promoting news assistants into editorial/reporting jobs, although some with the right mentors and connections do move beyond the menial tasks of answering phones and monitoring useless emails.

Pros

Challenging and rewarding work. You'll work in an environment that publishes the news everyday, if you are excited about helping people learn more about the world, you'll love it here. Good benefits, hybrid work, and really smart coworkers.

Cons

Does not pay like big tech but as an IC you'll be part of union with job protections
