Journalist/reporter

Mar 10, 2026

Pros

One of the old institutions of news papers in Malaysia, it comes with the stability in terms of decent pay and perks, steady increments, and surety of on time payment and year-end bonuses. Depending on the team you're in, work can be enjoyable, and as many staff stay on for quite a while it does give a family, long term friend vibe.

Cons

Being long standing also makes it old fashioned in parts, from work culture and aspects of admin interactions. The static upper management also makes it harder for new hires to push up to the upper ranks and can curb career progression beyond one's initial role. The industry is also shrinking rapidly, so expect things to get worse as more cost cutting is introduced.
