If you are a white female in this newsroom expect to be treated like crap.
Think twice before taking a job here. There are several toxic people that like to keep the chaos at full throttle.

Akili Franklin
Nothing major positive or negative. Doesn't really care about photography, leaves that to chief photographer. Cares much more about live shots and breaking news than telling good stories.
Union market for photographers. Strange mix of New Orleans laid back attitude with the typical news station high stress situation. Very bad communication, there are constant problems that are caused because no one thought to communicate with someone else and no one sees this as an issue. Pretty high turnover. Very bad gear, especially mics and tripods. No MMJs. Definitely not a storytelling station. Only one web person so much of the online work falls on the rest of the newsroom.
