Most of the daytime is still produced out of Atlanta (unless that’s changed recently), so we aren’t necessarily losing the heart of the newsroom. More alarming to hear that the whole floor is probably going away and whatever functions it served consolidated or disappearing altogether.For clarity, 'Heart of the newsroom' is a term used by many journalists, including Byers in this article (I should have quoted) and several others when referring to a studio based in the newsroom.
if you consider CNN went to air live from a working newsroom and has always featured a working newsroom since its inception, it really is a great loss IMO. From Sky to ITN, the BBC and way too many to mention, the 'working elements of a newsroom' adds something to a news broadcast and it'll be missed from CNN's domestic output I'm sure.
As the space in question is a working newsroom, with anchor and management offices off to the left and right of what we see on screen, one wonders why they are cutting this studio (if Byers is correct) at all.
