What happened
Several local news outlets have shut down their physical newsrooms since the Covid-19 pandemic made remote work common. Outlets such as The Toledo Blade and the New York Daily News were named as having dropped offices in favor of remote work since 2020. The report looks at losses beyond cost savings, such as on-the-job training and institutional knowledge.
Why it matters
The report argues that costs not shown on budgets, such as training and shared knowledge passed on in person, are harder to measure. Those losses can be easy to overlook when outlets weigh the savings from smaller or no office space.
