Media & Communications: Become the Newsroom
The word “newsroom” conjures up familiar images: the crusty cigar-chomping editor, the hard-charging reporter, the ink-stained production chief. Clich's, sure, but they didn't used to be terribly far off base.

Freelancers work remotely, blogging and tweeting from a home office in their pajamas. The Internet, of course, changed everything.
