California Watch taking "Open Newsroom" to coffee shops
Members of the California Watch and Center for Investigative Reporting staffs are getting out of the newsroom and into community coffee shops. They're calling it "Open Newsroom" and here's how they explain it on their website:
"For most of this week, our operations are being disrupted by an office move. We’re packing up and transporting the whole shebang from our existing location on Newbury Street to a beautifully remodeled landmark building on Center Street in downtown Berkeley. Our Internet connection went down Friday at our old location, and we don't have a place to sit in the new space. We figured we should turn this temporary inconvenience into an opportunity. So we decided to set up shop on Thursday at various WiFi hotspots."
California Watch hopes to make this a regular thing… a way to get out of the office and connect with readers. [via Steve Safran at Lost Remote]
