I seem I’ve found these sentences in English dictionaries:
Julia works as a reporter on the local newspaper.
Tom is a news reporter with the local newspaper.
Lena has a job with the local newspaper.
Are these prepositions Ok and interchangeable in this context?
And here's another: why when it comes to people in manual occupations, prepositions ‘at’ or ‘in’ are used. For instance:
Dave works at the automobile factory.
Tracy works in the local supermarket.
But when it comes to people of intellectual professions, preposition ‘with’ or ‘on’ are common. For instance:
Stephanie found work with an engineering firm.
Lena has a job with the local newspaper.
Can I say:
Stephanie found work at an engineering firm.
Julia works as a reporter at the local newspaper.
Tom is a news reporter in the local newspaper.
Lena has a job at the local newspaper.
Julia works as a reporter on the local newspaper.
