Pros

Good people on hand at the Progress, providing solid coverage of both the rapidly growing Charlottesville area and the University of Virginia community.

Cons

Many of the problems confronting daily newspapers today as the shift continues from print to online media; the paper has bolstered its online presence, but still is trying to find its niche. The 2012 sale from Media General to Berkshire Hathaway hasn't had an appreciable editorial effect. As is the case at most newspapers, pay is relatively low.
