Pros

The work we do is really important and our newsroom is filled with talented journalists and technical staff, plus union representation.

Cons

A lot of mismanagement from the top. There doesnt feel like there's a clear goal for the organization and the executive level feels like they're consistently at odds with the organized staff.

Pros

My team was super creative and adventurous. They taught me how to use new technology and how to keep my projects organized. They had excellent communication. They pushed me to new challenges and gave great feedback. I am still encouraged by my former boss to this day, years after my internship. Editing as part of the team also improved my writing skills a lot. I grew in my courage and my dedication to my work. I really believe I had a masterclass experience in ethical journalism, and it was fun too! I can't stop saying good things about this job.

Cons

I was an intern so the downsides were things I knew going into the job. Namely, I could only work three days a week, at least in that iteration of the intern program. I had a second job so it worked out for me. I think it's probably a good thing that my major con was that I wanted to work more :)
