A lot of freedom to delve into whichever domain you want to get into. Not sure whether that's a pro or a con because it's happening only because literally every team is understaffed.

Skill development - Good
Job security - Good

Dislikes

No work-life balance, poor pay, overworked and understaffed, editors are older than furniture and have biases, sexist culture, progressive only superficially, low & mid-level managers micromanage. Biggest con: New ideas can work only if they are not controversial (A red flag in a journalism office. Why are you scared to speak the truth?). Even seen plagiarism by senior editors. Some team heads have absolutely no clue about what they are doing and they only hold that position because they put in a certain number of years sitting at the same desk, without any real exposure or doing something even remotely related to journalism. Most desk heads are like clerks who just focus on making the pages and sending them for print. No real political discourse in the newsroom. Low & mid-level managers show no interest in the field. Buried a MeToo case, too....Read More

It is a great news publication for freshers who are looking to build a career in journalism. The publication is well respected in Bangalore and Karnataka, giving young reporters a lot of exposure to big stories and connections that they otherwise might not have gotten.

Skill development - Good
Job security - Excellent
Work satisfaction - Good

Dislikes

Very low pay, abysmal appraisals, very long and unstructured working hours, super hierarchical and archaic working style, no outlet to vent out frustrations/complaints, promotes a very toxic culture at times, middle management/editors can have zero empathy and bloated egos without the skills to show for it.

Salary - Poor
