      local journalism on a shoestring with old equipment

      Editor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Local journalism is critical, and you will get good experience here. Opportunities to cover every subject and stories often have a national angle or interest. Reporters often move up to national or New York pubs, sometimes within Hearst.

      Cons

      Low pay, long hours, poor-quality management, no time to coach young reporters, rigid legacy equipment and processes, too few resources to actual cover a town. Hearst doesn’t have a lot of love for Connecticut, despite owning everything in the Southwest of the state. Top management is often very long-tenured, which can bring wisdom, but it can also mean they were too expensive to lay off

      Stable and fairly low stress place to work as a video editor

      Video editor/motion graphics designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Hearst Tower is a great building to work in (when everyone wasn't working from home) - Great gym with really nice yoga classes - A LOT of free stuff (at least at Good Housekeeping) - Opportunities to pitch ideas and make them happen - Reasonable deadlines - Stable. I'm not afraid I'll lose my job at any moment. (which for a video editor is pretty great) - Decent enough health insurance

      Cons

      - No substantial bonuses or clear way up the corporate ladder. - Easy to feel like just a number in a gigantic company - Not a particularly fun office culture - Quantity over quality mindset
