Best first job a new grad in journalism could have. - Anonymous employee MacNeil/Lehrer Employee Review

The company (now NewsHour Productions) is built around having journalistic integrity, and that spreads to every aspect of the company itself. People are extremely passionate about what they do, and there is no such thing as a lazy person here. You do get comp time if you work during a holiday or weekend, which is nice and unexpected. Leadership is overall strong, with producers who work with limited funds to make quality programming.

9/10 employees work exceptionally long hours for little pay (considering most salaries are paid by grants, you will not be making the big bucks here). There isn't a lot of cross-department work, even among departments that seem to have similar goals, so it can make it more stressful within your own department (sometimes it seems like we're doing the same things at the same time).

It's a great news organization, if you have a family and can afford to work here. We do not work on weekends. Also, the people are very nice.

It is a small organization that's been mismanaged for a while. There is limited opportunities for growth. In a transition period as far as technology is concerned.
