Pros

- Good opportunity to build a portfolio of work and learn the ins and outs of a nonprofit - Good to get a foot in the door in the journalism industry

Cons

- The organization attempts to run on "volunteers" with only a few paid "independent contractors". Volunteers and contractors do the work of employees but are not compensated as employees. The result of this structure is an unbalanced organization with little to no diversity; the volunteers do all the work and the CEO/editor in chief reaps all of the benefits. It is not only unethical but illegal under NYS labor law, and yet it is somehow justified by the CEO/editor in chief because the organization is a "small nonprofit." - The "office" is the Editor-in-chief's manhattan studio apartment. The COVID pandemic might make this irrelevant, but it's good to know if you're ever asked to come in to the "office".
