The Register is also planning to sell their entire property and relocate to an “open newsroom” in downtown New Haven. Modeled on the Torrington Register Citizen’s current office, this newsroom will be open to the public, enabling people to see their reporters and editors at work.
According to Brackenbury, the Register’s newsroom will have a cafe, public work stations with computers, and a library with the Register’s archives. People will be able to come in, talk to reporters and editors, and observe their work.
“The change goes beyond just physical space, and is more about our philosophy,” Brackenbury added.
The Register is changing according to the philosophy of “digital first, print last.” CEO John Paton of Digital First Media, which manages the Journal Register Company, which owns the New Haven Register, has encouraged newspapers to stay on top of trends and keep up with the move to online news.
