Pros

Great crew of reporters to work with, interesting community, many residents are passionate about their communities which has lead to some interesting stories

Cons

The McClatchy reinvention has been difficult and several reporters were lost in the restructure, the corporate office also has a difficult time understanding that it is a small community newspaper, not a larger city or state-covering media entity, the change in coverage has also cost several subscribers to competing local news sources

Pros

Management encourages people with good ideas and initiative, promotes from within whenever possible. New editorial staff is changing the direction of focus to new media. Digital emphasis blooming with new publisher.

Cons

It is hard to be a locally focused company as part of a large national chain, especially in an industry like the media.

Pros

Great place to gain experience and learn new skills to take elsewhere, particularly since the newspaper staff has been cut over the past few years.

Cons

Badly managed organization with poor corporate oversight. Print business is on its way out, but digital products and competition are not being aggressively or realistically targeted. The entire organization is stuck in an outmoded and reactionary mentality. "Out of the box" problem solving is actively discouraged. The organization is afraid to take risks, despite rapidly losing revenue and readership with local competition.
