There's going to be one less newsroom in the city of Richmond, unfortunately. Richmond Times-Dispatch said in August it would vacate its longtime building at 300 E. Franklin St. next year. Now it seems reporters will work remotely with operations consolidating at the Hanover plant location.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch has announced it will move its newsroom from downtown to its printing press in Hanover County in early 2025. The Times-Dispatch has been in the city for more than 150 years, and we find this news troubling for employees, readers and the community.
