They are working diligently to try to figure out how to keep legacy media in business.
Doing journalism that makes a substantive difference in my community and being respected by others in the community.
Salary, PTO is extremely generous. This year, my 25th with the company, I was rewarded with 7 weeks of PTO. Wow!
Well, it was 20 years ago, and a lot has changed. But it was thorough and I was asked a lot of probing questions.
The most positive thing about my company is my bosses allow me to do good investigative work. The most negative thing about my company is the folks in the union who have created a hostile work environment.
The company has invested in me financially with a fair, generous salary and PTO. The company also has provided me with out-of-state training at national conferences, and it has given me the freedom to pursue investigative stories.
My editor and deputy managing editor are fair with me and provide me the tools and opportunities to do outstanding investigative journalism. The other investigative reporter on the team is top notch, and she and I work extremely well together on projects and in-depth stories.
Larger raises to employees who produce excellent work. Too often those at the top of the pay scale are told the company cannot afford to give raises or more than 1-2 percent because it needs to use the raise pool to help lower-paid employees, who in my opinion do not do similar quality work.
