Colorado Public Radio To Move Its Newsroom To Downtown Denver
From All Access:
COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO is moving its newsroom to a 9,000 square foot facility in downtown DENVER later this year. The move from the stations' primary studios and business offices in CENTENNIAL to 303 E. 17th Avenue in DENVER will initially involve almost 50 reporters, producers, editors and digital news employees, including the entire DENVERITE staff, and the new newsroom will ultimately accomodate 70 reporters and producers. Primary studios and offices will remain at CENTENNIAL.
“As we add resources and journalistic talent, it’s critical to maintain the same open, collaborative newsroom we’ve had at BRIDGES BROADCAST CENTER,” said Executive Editor KEVIN DALE. “We’ve outgrown that space with plans for continued growth. Moving downtown is a desirable option to add space, while also reducing operational challenges we face being a half-hour away from the state’s largest news hub.”
“The one thing this won’t change is our commitment to telling stories across the state,” added DALE. “The move will allow for better communication and faster access to the legislators who represent all parts of COLORADO.”
