Hey Brian, We have one journalist working at Office Nomads (Charles Redell of Sustainable Industries), and one publisher (Mike Jones of Morgan & Claypool).
I know we've had a few others come and drop in from time to time in those industries as well, but those are the two that come to mind right away. Jacob also took part in some larger conversations around Seattle about the end of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's print edition and what could come next - they held several meetings here at Office Nomads and so are certainly well aware of what coworking can provide, but we haven't seen much movement since then. Seems like a great idea to me, though - these days particularly the news industry is looking to lessen costs and do what they can...coworking seems to be a great solution. Just on a side note, we had a news crew from a local channel come through and do an interview with us, and the anchor who interviewed us loved the idea and explained it incredibly well - I think we found an ally in her (you can see the clip by going to our news page - http://www.officenomads.com/news/) Susan __ Office Nomads http://www.officenomads.com On Aug 19, 9:34 am, Julie of souk <[email protected]> wrote: > Brian, > > You may want to check with Jerome in LA.
