The new Washington D.C. bureau of Tribune Company brings together 107 journalists from nine newspapers and broadcasting companies into a single 40,000 square-foot facility located in a landmark building formerly used as a department store. The large windows and high ceilings of the historic building provide plenty of natural light and space for individual newsrooms for papers like the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and Baltimore Sun, as well as shared spaces like a central news desk, library, cafe, and conference rooms to encourage collaboration across platforms.
The document summarizes the renovation of unused basement space in the historic Chicago Tribune Tower into new offices for the company's Internet division, Tribune Interactive. Perkins & Will architects transformed the former industrial printing press area into a modern, light-filled workspace with open floor plans, glass-enclosed conference rooms stacked in towers, and preserved remnants of the building's past uses. The $22 million project created an innovative new workspace and helped attract talented technology employees.

The document summarizes the design and construction of the CCTV headquarters building in Beijing, China. It describes how OMA and Arup won the international design competition and developed a design that combines all CCTV functions into a single interconnected loop around four elements - a base, two leaning towers, and a suspended overhang. Construction involved erecting the two massive leaning towers and connecting them with a 9-13 story overhang suspended 36 stories in the air, presenting unprecedented challenges. The document outlines the key stages of the extended preliminary design, construction documents, and construction phases from 2002 to 2008.

The document discusses a theory of broadcast media that focuses on the balance between programming (non-advertising content) and advertising. It notes that in the US broadcast industry, firms generate revenue from both supplying free programming to attract an audience and selling advertising time to third parties. The model presented examines how the interaction of broadcasters, advertisers, and consumers determines the amount of non-advertising content produced. It also includes charts about types of media and advertisements in different countries.
Star TV is an Asian television service owned by News Corporation. It was founded in 1990 in Hong Kong and now reaches 300 million viewers across 53 countries. News Corporation purchased Star TV from Hutchison Whampoa in 1993. Star TV operates numerous television channels across Asia, focusing on genres like movies, entertainment, news, music, sports, and documentaries. It provides channels in languages like English and Hindi to viewers in South and Southeast Asia.
Public service broadcasting refers to non-commercial TV and radio programs that are intended for public benefit rather than commercial purposes. It includes local news, arts, and religious programs. Public service broadcasters are state-owned but independent of political interference. In contrast, commercial broadcasters are privately owned and more focused on promoting advertisers' interests through entertainment and reality shows. Prasar Bharati is India's largest public broadcaster, comprising Doordarshan television and All India Radio. The BBC is the world's oldest and largest public service broadcaster, providing impartial broadcasting across television, radio, and online in the UK and worldwide.
The document discusses new media and its history and impact. It defines new media as digital technologies like the internet, websites, and interactive content. New media allows on-demand access from any device and user interactivity. Examples mentioned include social media, CDs, DVDs, and digital technologies transforming old media. The rise of new media has led to increased media fragmentation and availability of content. New media has both positive impacts like more communication and negative impacts like manipulation. In Bangladesh, new media use has grown rapidly via internet and smartphones, influencing public opinion and protests.
The document outlines both the advantages and limitations of television advertising. The key advantages are its ability to use both sight and sound creatively, its wide coverage across demographics in an engaging and attention-grabbing way, and its flexibility in broadcast time, coverage area, and content. However, television advertising also has limitations including a lack of selectivity in targeting specific segments, high costs, a fleeting message as ads are short, clutter from many ads, and potential for causing distrust or negative impressions from offensive, uninformative, or too frequent ads. Audience for television is measured using ratings, shares, audi meters that track channels, and people meters that also identify viewers.
Broadcast media refers to communication methods like television, radio, newspapers and magazines that supply media and press materials. Digital radio provides CD-quality sound and additional data transmission capabilities. Digital television offers standard, enhanced, and high definition formats and provides advantages like more channels, multimedia services, and improved audio/video quality over analog TV. Ebooks are electronic versions of printed books that can be read on computers or ebook readers, providing benefits such as adjustable fonts, searchability, and low distribution costs, but also disadvantages like incompatibility, higher prices than print books, and screen limitations compared to paper.

2. Tribune’s new Washington bureau is
located on the 7th
floor of what was once
the Woodward & Lothrop department
store, also known as Woodies. Ornate
architectural features on the landmark
building are prominent outside the
bureau’s windows.
3. The landmark building is
characterized by high ceilings (10-11
feet) and large windows lining three
sides of the Tribune’s bureau. The
windows flood the 7th
floor with
natural light, as seen below.
Architectural features like this
“capital” (left) frame the windows.
A rooftop observation deck offers
line of sight to Capitol Hill.
4. After 18 months of planning and six months of construction, we’re
moving into our new complex at 1025 F St. NW from four separate
bureaus located around Washington.
Designed to bring together 107 Tribune journalists from nine
newspapers and broadcasting into a single facility, the new
headquarters will make possible greater collaboration in Washington
coverage for print, broadcast and interactive.
Business Units : Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune, Daily Press, Hartford
Courant, Los Angeles Times, Morning Call, Newsday, Orlando Sentinel, South
Florida Sun-Sentinel and Tribune Broadcasting.
5. The news desk is at the crossroads of the bureau,
intended both as a walk-up desk and a conference
table for daily news meetings between newspaper
editors and broadcast staff.
6. The bureau’s lobby (above left) faces a glass interior corridor with large multipurpose conference
room (right). The new bureau encompasses 40,000 square-feet on a single floor. That’s 20% less
space and lower cost than operating four separate bureaus.
7. Washington Senior Editor Vickie Walton-James unpacks in her new office. Vickie
will serve as coordinator and liaison between all Tribune newspaper bureaus now
located at the new DC headquarters.
9. The café will be a meeting place for
Tribune newspaper and broadcast
journalists. Located in the heart of
the bureau, the café is part of the
central commons along with the
news desk and shared library. The
floor is the original Tennessee
marble featured when Woodies was
a department store.
The café echoes Woodies’ past. The
7th
floor once was the site of a bar in
the venerable old department store.
An old photo from that era hangs in
the building’s main lobby.
12. The Los Angeles Times area is the largest
suite in the bureau. This is one end of the
Times’ area, which is being prepared for the
staff move ins.
13. Ford’s Theater, where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, is the red brick building at the
center. This is the view out one of the Los Angeles Times’ windows in the new bureau.
15. Tribune Broadcasting’s Don Rooney directs installation of
equipment in the control room. An audio booth is at right.
16. The Sun’s area is located in the southwest
corner of the building. The view from one of
the windows is at left.
17. Newsday’s space adjoins the
Baltimore Sun’s and the central
commons. Newsday bureau chief
Tim Phelps (below right) and the
Chicago Tribune’s Jack Devedjian,
bureau project manager, look over
Newsday’s offices.
