President Donald Trump acknowledged that he has considered moving reporters out of their longtime White House workspace, according to CNN. The remarks appeared in a 1,323-word Truth Social post directed at HBO host Bill Maher, which CNN and a third-party tracking firm identified as his longest on the platform.

The acknowledgment raises questions about the future of the press corps’ working space at the White House. Trump described an idea he has considered; the report does not establish that a relocation plan has been finalized.

Reflections on newsroom innovation — and why human ingenuity and editorial judgment still triumph

From paste-ups to artificial intelligence (AI), newsroom technology has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past four decades. But amid the constant innovation, one thing remains indispensable: human ingenuity and editorial judgment. In this month’s “Shoptalk” op-ed, Jeff Kleinman, consumer team editor at the Miami Herald, reflects on his evolution from a young reporter armed with a notebook and pen to a digital newsroom leader — sharing colorful memories, lessons learned and a reminder that technology can never replace the experience and intuition journalists bring to their work.

Being local — community, context and connections — is a superpower

As Big Tech platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) continue to disrupt the news media industry, newspapers possess a competitive advantage that tech giants simply cannot replicate: their deep roots in the communities they serve. New research suggests that local newspapers continue to earn readers’ trust across generations, including Millennials. In his October “The Newspaper Perspective” op-ed, Dean Ridings explains why being local is journalism’s superpower and offers practical advice for publishers looking to strengthen community connections, build trust and remind audiences and advertisers of their unique value.
