Pros
Staff is very nice and full of energy. Office is beautiful and in great location with a growing number of world known news brands. The mission of Groundtruth means well and the staff reporters/directors have won the place many awards
Cons
Actual staff is made of brilliant journalists, but top leadership continues to sell Groundtruth's mission short. The main mission is undercut by low quality reports, giving fellowships to friends, micromanaging and a hypocritical distaste for youth. It's like we pretend to do be doing great things but every thing just falls short. The executive director is a bridge burning bully and has pushed several people (fellows and staff) to the point of quitting over the years. In my view the exec director is and will always be this organization's biggest problem. But no one will know that becuase he only he encircles himself with people who blindly agree with him. Everyone else is belittled and driven mad until they leave.
