Forgetting that you're a newspaper

Pros

Great work-life balance for most teams - come in to office by 10 am, coffee break at 11 am, lunch break at 12.30 pm (which goes on for an hour), tea break at 4 pm and leave for home at 5 pm. It's a great place for those who work like this. If you actually want to put in hours of work for your own satisfaction, read on.

Cons

Do 12 to 16 hour workdays as a journalist (which is primarily what a NEWSPAPER requires) and there is no acknowledgement or appreciation - either verbally or monetarily. People who want to remain journalists should stay away, because you will lose all your love for journalism after working here.

Pros

Good hours, benefits and reasonable work expectations in terms of the media world.

Cons

Inefficient, slow and lumbering organisation that will constantly leave you frustrated by its sarkari way of functioning.
