Bewertungen für Womens Wear Daily

Pros

The London office is fantastic if you want to learn the trade from some of the best journalists (the Chief Bureau and the European Editor). Aside from the fashion director that fly in from their headquarters in the US - more fashion attitude than real substance - the journalists, photographers and editors that work there are true professionals. A rarity in fashion magazines.

Kontras

It's very old school. Also, the US team of editors that run overseas shows is a tad "too wannabe and dramatic" from what is needed. Being the European offices very small, and with not a lot of career progression, people are comfortable staying where they are in the same position for years.

Perhaps become a bit more agile, and start embracing the pace of a media company instead of a newspaper that's trying out to survive online.

Pros

Everyone is in it together. Everyone is miserable

Kontras

Poor management and compensation. Company is a disaster. Nobody knows what they are doing.

They should remind themselves that they are only as good as their workers.

Keep us in business

Pros

Its the third job I've had and its the best workplace I've experienced so far

Kontras

Legacy publication that is still struggling to navigate digital, not accelerating to online as fast as it could

Rat an das Management

Hire more web producers (focus on promoting the amount of content currently produced instead of hiring new reporters to produce more content that ends up buried and is not moving the needle) and grow the email newsletters

Pros

Amazing experience to have on your resume.

Kontras

Really cold environment. The vibe of the office didn't work for me.

Pros

Respectful environment, room for growth if you strive and ask for it, decent pay, occasional long hour days especially during fashion month

Kontras

Unorganized, you end up wearing many hats despite what you're being paid for, decisions are last minute, understaffed

Focus.......

Pros

The new owner Jay Penske has a great vision for the company and really understands that this 100 year old publication needs to adapt to a changing media landscape. He has tried to hire and bring in new blood to change the old regime, but the old newspaper guys fight him behind his back. The new offices are beautiful and located right across from the NY Public Library near Bryant Park.

Kontras

The newsroom is unorganized with only a loose set of reporter beats. Reporters continually duplicate story coverage because of a lack of communication within the newsroom. There is NO daily reporter meeting, only 1 editorial meeting that excludes many reporters. Most new hires leave within 1-2 yrs. There is little comprehension from upper management about today's current state of media. The top editors actively work... to sabotage the new owners attempts to modernize the publication.

Cut the top editors and bring in new people that understand digital media and will share your vision.
