Pros

The only pro to working here is when you get to quit.

Cons

Where do I start? I think the other reviews about the "top editor" nailed it. I'm not at all surprised they won't let employees stay home for covid. I bet David Houston still makes them get in their seats by 9 am every morning and then yells at people who can't make it by then even though buses are dangerous to take and no longer work. That is the "top editor's" name BTW - David. I heard he's gay too. That isn't relevant here except if true that it's something he feels he needs to keep from conservative management...... David why are you writing fake positive reviews of the place right now?

Pros

Classic, old-school style newsroom environment.

Cons

Not really a con, since all reporters work on tight deadlines, but DJ reporters work on semi-tight deadlines. Reporters probably submit 1-3 stories a day.
