In December 2008, Guardian News & Media moved from the offices it had occupied since the 1970s to a state-of-the-art new building in North London. The move to Kings Place is a central part of GNM’s transition from a UK newspaper publisher to a multimedia, 24/7, international news organisation publishing across all platforms – print, online and more. The offices are equipped with seven recording studios for audio and video content and 24 editing desks. Print and digital operations are largely integrated, in an open-plan newsroom organised into specialist “pods”. The result, says editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger, is “an editorial environment unlike any I’ve previously seen”.
