Pros
A media company that matters. Great reporters.
Cons
A "doom and gloom" atmosphere that's tough to shake and, unfortunately, prevalent in many newsrooms throughout the country.
Advice to Management
Figure out how to drive revenue. Pour most of your resources into tech and revenue-driving. The rest will follow, or it wasn't meant to be.

Pros
Total freedom and Independence, mutual trust between me and editors and publishers.
Cons
There were no cons in reporting, except maybe numb wrists. Marketing was less work and paid more.
Advice to Management
I work well alone and am not intimidated by deadlines. I especially enjoy working with highly intelligent people, as my tested IQ is 195.

Pros
I gained a lot of experience working at the Globe. There are some really great people working there!
Cons
Management continually makes decisions without having an idea of what the effects might be. Toxic employees are allowed to stay and even rewarded. Advertising and sales methods feel slimy.
