The Hearst Bureau is moving in with McClatchy next month, we've learned. Hearst had leased a big, fancy spot on K Street a few years back but they've lost a handful of people from the San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Houston Chronicle through layoffs and attrition. As a result, they're breaking their lease and moving in with McClatchy (above Macy's at One Metro Center).
There will be no editorial change, however. "All of the bureaus -- Hearst's national staff, SF, San Antonio, Houston and McClatchy --remain independent," says Houston Chronicle DC Bureau Chief Richard Dunham.
Reading between the lines, looks to me like McClatchy's downsizing has left them with some empty office space.
