Arizona Republic editors to reporters: Do your work at Starbucks or McDonald's
Jim Poulin/Phoenix Business Journal
The Arizona Republic is telling many reporters that they need to work remotely.
Starbucks and McDonald’s will soon be the new offices for roughly 20 community reporters at The Arizona Republic.
Top Republic editors met with reporters from the Mesa, Scottsdale and Phoenix community sections Thursday to tell the reporters they were getting laptops. They would become “mobile reporters” without any traditional desk in an office, according to multiple reporters who wished to remain anonymous.
Because Starbucks and McDonald’s have free Wi-Fi, those were the two places editors suggested reporters take advantage of as they work out in the field.
Some reporters said they could work from home, but others said they were being asked not to work from home and instead be out in the field as much as possible. Reporters are being asked to take home their files, and keep them in their car or at home.
