Pluspunten

Nice people. Reporters who care.

Minpunten

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.

Pluspunten

The majority of the people in the newsroom are good friends who hang out together a lot outside of work. If you want to gain or improve your computer/job skills, there is always someone willing to teach you.

Minpunten

The company cut salaries by 5% to dig themselves out of bankruptcy but did not discontinue management bonuses. Now (in 2011), 2% has been reinstated. But, the rest is considered a raise that must be approved by management. They currently are not giving raises. The assignment editor is a nag who makes the newsroom a stressful place to be. The staff once met after work to discuss ways to get back to enjoying the work environment. it boiled down to ways to handle and work around her.
