In Part 3 of the series on mental health and the newsroom, readers are given glimpses into the workspaces of twenty-first century newsrooms including those of LinkedIn, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, Forbes, Business Insider and Mashable. During the virtual newsroom-crawl, we are able to see how newsrooms are changing their architecture and interior design to not only foster creativity and productivity, but to increase employee satisfaction, prevent burnout and reduce stress. The changes vary from the simply better lighting to having a hidden speakeasy on location.
"At HuffPost, Editor-in-Chief Arianna Huffington has made taking time for yourself a priority. It's all part of Huffington's goal to “prevent burnout.” Writers and editors can take a quick snooze in one of the New York office's nap rooms, find some peace in the meditation room, join a weekly restorative breathing class and recharge in one of the many massage chairs scattered throughout the office. Couches and hammocks also flank the open newsroom’s rows of desks."
