Pros

Buying power allows journalists to access vital sources, resources and benefits were OK, camaraderie made it all work. I can recommend depending on position.

Cons

Business-minded approach means people dont get a lot of instruction. People get moved around without notice. Some of the requisites have nothing to do with best for audience.
