Pros
Total freedom to write about whatever you want (within a certain field of course), as well as opening doors for new writers struggling to get started. We easily provide one of the best start-up packages for anyone looking to get their work read by millions, and personally as I was previously unsure whether I'd be able to land a job getting paid to cover any and everything about a certain topic/medium, I'm more than happy with how it's turned out.
Cons
Just a case of there not being enough hours in the day to get everything you want out there, and as we respond to major news stories breaking, that can derail something you intended to have finished by that evening. There's also the fact that as there's so much scope for anyone to write for us, it does mean you have to deal with unreliable writers or a lack of communication even though they may have been given a time-sensitive topic to cover. So far bonuses have been amazing and there's a real incentive to match business-minded decisions in terms of how and what to write with my own personal interests.
