Great place - Reporter The Recorder Employee Review

Great editorial leadership at the top from the two primary editors in charge. Very strong vision about what the paper should and could be and how to make the paper meet those goals. The job recognizes good journalism and it rewards outstanding work, too. Editors are very supportive in reporting embarking on long term projects and investigative work, especially anything that can be sourced and told through data. Positive attitude toward modern storytelling.

Content management system is archaic, faulty. The website does not support the stories we always want to tell, feel shackled by limitations of the product group and what they've put into our website model. Editors can at times ask for more than the reporters are willing to give, but I see this as no fault of the reporters. It is hard to be as excited about certain legal decisions and development as the editors. The work can become dry, boring. But that is most work in general.

If I could base this review on co workers alone I would give it a 5 star rating but that's just a fools fantasy. It's strange because there are a lot of of good people with brilliant minds along with amazing writers there settling for %#$!@.

You will have to train yourself because everyone is way too busy wearing 5 different hats to stay afloat. Nobody has time to help you understand the daily processes or protocol. Its all about learning the hard way. Debbie Downer runs the place with a bad attitude and superiority complex. And brush up on playing guessing game to figure out what they want management wants you to do because its going to change by noon and again at 1 then 2 and so on. I was honestly amazed that they were able to slap together a crappy publication that nobody reads to run every week.
