Salaries too low and career advancement is weak - Senior News Editor Japan Times Employee Review

People are good in general.

Salary was relatively low compared to other competitors.

Would definitely recommend for those who are seeking opportunities into the journalism industry. The people I worked with were all very friendly and I absolutely loved the atmosphere (especially the editorial planning division). Most of the work consists of editing, but if you are a competent writer, they will give you opportunities to write as well.

Sometimes I felt as if there was not enough work for me to do. Also, I would've liked a little bit more experience writing or conducting interviews. However, if you either are pursuing a degree in journalism or have graduated with one, you will probably be granted more opportunities to actually write. Also, all internship positions are unpaid.
