Pros

Remote/ WFH opportunities but that’s about it.

Cons

Getting AI to write your copy shows the state of decline of this newsroom. Everybody hates it and it doesn’t make you ahead. Rules also change every few weeks and the reporters get blamed even if they weren’t briefed on the changes. Terrible communication and lack of empathy from upper management. This type of journalism is depressing.

Pros

Very cool office space if you work in NYC.

Cons

Run, don't walk. Pay is bad compared to other newsrooms with the same exposure. The organization is crazy messy. Restructuring people and changing job titles laterally without consulting the affected employees. Leadership will leave your message on read. Laying people off randomly, regardless of their talent and contribution to the team, purely because of a spontaneous, busy decision (you will see them hiring for the same position again in like a month). No space for advancement -- you are stuck with the same job title if your immediate supervisor doesn't move up/leave. To sum up, you deserve better if you are concerned and reading this.
