Pros

Great job for getting your foot in the door for community journalism and not far from Houston and Galveston.

Cons

Not making too much pay wise, mostly enough to live off of and make a portfolio for future jobs.

Pros

Relatively laid back atmosphere, good opportunity to gain experience in many different aspects of print journalism. Staff reporters are all a good time and good people.

Cons

Hours are rough, taking take off is also rough because newsroom is short staffed. Sports editor is an absolute moron, has little to no journalistic training and is only in his position because "he knows a lot of people" according to the publisher. Pay is horrible, especially if you take into the account the amount of work require to do the job and overtime you work. But that is no surprise, it is a small newspaper.
