Pros

The brand-value on one's resume.

Cons

Very much beholden to vested interests in that managing editors, section chiefs etc are often in a position to abuse their power re hiring and planning.

Still a great place if you love the news

Pros

Still a great place to work if you love the news--good benefits, 401K match, generous vacation.

Cons

Certainly going through a time of transition and I'd say the upper level management that I worked for was closed off and not effective at keeping employees informed. A lot of favoritism and management promoted solely for being in the right place at the right time.
