 Newsroom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A newsroom is the place where journalists, either reporters, editors, producers and other staffers work to gather news to be published in a newspaper or magazine or broadcast on television, cable or radio.
The popular but dated conception of an American newsroom is a large room filled with desks, typewriters and teletype terminals, where many men and few women work loudly and furiously, reading their notes from reporters' notebooks, talking on the telephone, typing out their stories, arguing with each other, smoking and even drinking alcoholic beverages openly.
The denizens of an American newsroom are portrayed as hard-nosed, world-weary cynics with little sympathy for the subjects of their stories, although some are portrayed as caring people who developed thick skins as a reaction to having reported so many depressing stories.

Internally, designating one or two staffers in a newsroom of 100 or 300 - where the median age is 41 - to report on youth does not shout priority; devoting a quarter of the staff to such a goal does.

But if you take the former course, if you take the challenge of exploding the newsroom, then you probably have to give those people control for all the products and hold them accountable for audience growth and satisfaction and for keeping up with all their new competitors, small and smaller.
That greatly smoothed the Journal’s transition to the Web–while other newsrooms (including the WashPost’s, I know from firsthand experience) grumbled that there was some sort of magic in waiting until 6 pm, to let stories marinate and age before filing them, the Journal reporters already were conditioned to filing news in real time.
You assume that every reporter and editor in the newsroom is like a powder keg of skill and desire, ready to transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly without the cocoon stage.

 Common Sense Journalism: Gannett blows up the newsroom
There will be a lot of braying, I'm sure, about how doing away with the "newsroom" and all this emphasis on closer connection with readers is pandering.
But the radicalness of the change and the announcement that everyone will be trained and have their butts kicked to join the 21st century is also a newspaper tradition, one that Gannett has followed for decades: Gross disrespect for its newsroom staffs.

 The Newsroom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Newsroom is an award winning Canadian television comedy series which ran on the CBC in the 1996-1997 and 2003-2005 seasons.
However, none of these subsequent series were as well-received by the public or by critics as The Newsroom had been, and the CBC began to express their desire for a new set of Newsroom episodes.
Escape from the Newsroom, which included a fourth wall-breaking plot digression in which the characters directly addressed the idea of reviving the series, was meant partly as a sarcastic response to that request.

 The New Yorker : fact : content
The job title was left over from the days of typewriters, when stories were filed on sheaves of carbon paper known as ten-part books, but by the time I got to the newsroom, in the mid-nineteen-eighties, the process had been computerized, and copy persons mostly just answered the phones and sorted the mail.
The level of disaffection in the newsroom may even, at moments, have approached that of the past few months, but the resentment never had much in the way of coherence.
By pushing the newsroom to be faster and more aggressive, by demanding that stories be “dominated” instead of just reported, Raines had defined himself—or, what amounts to much the same thing, had allowed himself to be defined—against the traditions of the institution.

 OJR article: Moving Online Into the Newsroom
Most newspapers have traditionally not made room for online producers and editors in their newsrooms, shuffling them off instead to a different floor, or to a different building entirely.
Some in the newsroom, however, were disconcerted to see azcentral.com put a two-hour-old story with a huge photo of a wreck causing a temporary traffic jam -- something that wouldn't get a mention in the print edition the following day -- directly under a story about the legislature passing an important bill.

 First Draft by Tim Porter: The Mood of the Newsroom
I didn't think, given the scrappy newsrooms from which I sprang, the day would come when I'd say the responsibility for the decline of newspapers as the principal platform for journalism is shared equally by the journalists and the publishers.
The obdurance and avoidance endemic in newsrooms rests on a bedrock belief that the "problems" at their newspapers are best solved with more bodies or a return to a more "traditional" form of journalism.
This belief exists in every newsroom I've been in during the last 18 months and while it is certainly understandable - most people prefer a known past, however glorified it may be, to an uncertain future, regardless of the promise it may hold - I believe it is dangerously destructive.

They’re exploding their newsrooms, changing how they are organized, how they operate, and tearing down the walls to the world formerly known as the outside.

 Newsroom conservatives are a rare breed | csmonitor.com
But the survey does confirm that US newsrooms do not mirror the political leanings of the nation at large.
Some editors contend that at the very least, media outlets should acknowledge that ideologically unbalanced newsrooms are bad for journalism and, in a time of declining circulation and viewership, bad for business, too.
But if editors and recruiters are thinking more about ideological balance, newsrooms remain distracted by budget cutbacks and continued embarrassment over the another gap: a severe shortage of minorities relative to the general population.
