Abstract

Technology has driven a change in the mainstream media editorial room towards the digital
newsroom. Media that develops models of editorial space integrated with digital platforms has been widely
practiced. Including, designing a newsroom work place to support the performance needed by media
companies that are adaptive to change. The newsroom or editorial room no longer uses a cubical arrangement,
but rather a shared work space. This research uses a constructionist paradigm according to a qualitative
research approach with a phenomenological method. The results showed that the co-working space newsroom
accelerated the coordination for the production of “breaking news”. Communication in the newsroom
becomes without bureaucracy, consequently it becomes free of structure and a cross levels. The implication is
that the newsroom culture of the co-working space becomes more flexible and fast in collaboration with fellow
journalists and writers to raise the latest news issues. Another implication is that the newsroom supports the
creative ideas of media actors.
