      Pros

      Major metropolitan daily in diverse, exciting city with many complex and important stories to cover.Legacy of journalistic excellence. Decent benefits.

      Cons

      Financials uncertain emerging from bankruptcy with new publisher. Transition from print to digital makes for high-pressure newsroom with different standards depending on the platform. Many waves of buyouts/reductions have depleted the staff of many of its most seasoned editors and writers.

      Pros

      Good focus on long-form writing and journalism; lots of lovely people worked here and there was a nice community outside of the office; felt like a legit civic institution that people in L.A. care about.

      Cons

      Uneven management with unclear long-term priorities and conflicting top-down mandates. Not very willing to collaborate with the union.
