Just the worst people at the top. The owner suddenly turned MAGA and can't do enough to kowtow to Trump and praise RFK Jr. He publicly tells blatant and nasty lies about his own staff -- demonstrably lies. He knows nothing about newspapers, refuses to learn, and his daughter who knows even less interferes or tries to interfere in newsroom decisions though she has no formal role at the paper. The executive and managing editors in turn kowtow to whatever the owner wants, never stand up for staff and are pretty universally hated. The m.e. also is known for being abusive to some staff. btw, if you are applying for a part-time or temporary job, know that they give you NO benefits. You can't work on holidays and you don't get paid for them, while permanent staff does, so your pay won't be what they say. No paid vacation even if you are a part-timer for years. The deadlines are so early that the paper the day after the World Series didn't even have the Dodgers winning because the owner sold the printing press. Tens of thousands of longtime subscribers are boycotting the paper and its circulation is sinking much faster than that of other papers.
