Pros

Unbiased. High standard of reporting. Work with some of the best journalists in the game.

Cons

Bureaucracy. Lack of funding means not enough money to invest in full time reporters.

A dying breed struggling to transform to today's technology trends

Pros

Great heritage dating back to Abraham Lincoln's inauguration. Journalists are the best in the business. They are an authority on both international and state news reporting. Strong Brand recognition in the global marketplace.

Cons

IT is stuck in the past using systems dating back about twenty years. Very not for profit culture, especially where many IT staff seem to be waiting for someone to tap them on the shoulder and tell them it's game is over.

Pros

I was a stringer at a foreign bureau. We were paid by shift work. Great editing. Great exposure. Lots of fun working on a team with quality colleagues.

Cons

The pay was appalling (the equivalent of $115/day). No job security.
