Main feature 12 News from the home front Is the end of the office nigh?


T


he coronavirus pandemic is changing the way we live and work radically. Not least among the changes is our widespread working from home and the broader question of how much we need an office. Some businesses are questioning whether they need one at all, others are looking


towards a future of mixed working patterns with some homeworking and some office attendance. In our cover feature Neil Merrick looks at what this means for our industry. Also in this edition of The Journalist we have a feature on


how virtual meetings are generating more activity in branches because the meetings are now more accessible. Edinburgh Freelance branch has seen a big jump in people getting involved, has increased the frequency of its meetings and has linked up with other branches for joint meetings. Recently, the TUC held its first virtual conference. We have full


coverage of the main issues and those raised by the NUJ. As we work from home there’s growing evidence of a revival in the local economy and a strengthening of the high street which not that long ago was suffering as consumers opted for large out of town centres. We can only hope that the revival of the local economy stimulates more interest in local news and helps to bolster our regional media.
