Business Outlook
Pros
Reaching a broad readership. Getting to know how one of the great newspapers actually works. Enjoying a minor prestige among outsiders.
Cons
Working in distressed industries is not fun, and journalism is a wreck. The NYT doesn't have a clear plan to remain profitable, so it announces new layoffs every year. Revenue from print ads is falling with circulation; revenue from online ads is not rising fast enough. That means salaries are capped and pensions are cut, at least for non-managers.
