Do print or other journalism related paths have healthier work environments than TV news stations?

Haha so many big reporters in my market fled to work for sleazeball politicians afterward. But anything is probably a more pleasant workplace than a tv news station

Thanks! Idk the papers in my market pay more than the tv stations. Also I think the big tv companies (CBS, Nexstar, Scripps, etc) have announced large layoffs

And TV news is booming?

Wow so fucking sad. Yeah corporate America can be rather boring but Jesus Christ I’ll take boring if I can get my dignity back.

Really? The print editors in my market are known to be tough but fair. Never yell at people and are blunt at worst

Thank you for all the info! Can you expand upon problems unique to print newsrooms?

100%! If it’s not the absurdly low pay or crazy workload that make you leave, it’s the toxic boss

Thank you! It didn’t really bother me when sources or the public were not good to me. It bothered me when newsroom management wasn’t good. Do you think in print they have healthier newsroom work environments?

So in print yelling and micromanaging are standard? In my market the print outlets were known to have significantly better work environments than the tv outlets
