Henderson, Keren, et al. “Communicating With the Masses from Isolation: What Happened When Local Television Journalists Worked from Home”. 2022. Hawai’i International Conference on System Sciences, 2022, doi:10.24251/HICSS.2022.858.
Abstract
<p><span>In response to the COVID-19 crises, many local TV newsrooms decided to have employees work from home (WFH) or the field rather than from the newsroom. From a review of research on telework, we identified possible impacts of WFH on worker effectiveness, conceptualized as including output, individual satisfaction and growth, and group well-being. From a case study of a local TV newsroom and interviews with news directors, we found that WFH was successful in creating a newscast, albeit with some concerns about story quality.
