Freedom Communications Reviews

New owners had no experience in the industry, ignored the Internet, and launched two newspapers and bought another in the LA area. Almost everything they have done has been a disaster. Rumored to not be paying outside vendors on time (or at all). Asking employees to deliver newspapers.

It's painfully obvious that management has no idea what they are doing. They micromanage and that means no real planning or structure. They don't know anything about news, much less about digital. They're literally the only two people left on the planet who think print will save the news industry. They fired half the company including some of the best journalist we had. Now they're expanding by starting new papers but they aren't hiring anyone. The LA Register will be written by a handful of out of college reporters. Yet, they keep talking about quality and journalistic integrity. They treat the remaining staff like faceless, replaceable bodies. I have never worked anywhere so dysfunctional and depressing.
