Generally positive culture at the publication I work for but morale erodes as veteran staffers realize buyout offers are really not optional and much institutional knowledge goes with them

Women serve in few, if any, leadership positions. Young women fill a majority of entry-level editorial and sales jobs.

Maybe. Transition from traditional newspaper to multi-platform media company has caused great stress and low morale. Several rounds of buyouts and layoffs as the company tests a new business plan make this a difficult company to work for right now. But if Advance finds its footing in the media landscape, it may again become a desirable workplace with a strong industry reputation.
