The Tribune is moving out of its office and working remotely through the end of the year
To our readers,
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to reshape how companies do business, The Tribune has made the difficult decision to move out of our office on Tank Farm Road in July.
COVID-19 has accelerated our organization’s ability to work remotely. Since mid-March, many of us have been working from home. From pandemic to protests, we haven’t skipped a beat thanks to technology, communication tools that connect us instantaneously and the hard work of our dedicated staff.
As the business model in our industry continues to change, and due to the economic impact of the coronavirus, we continue to face financial headwinds. In this move, we are investing in people over place to ensure our readers receive the level of coverage and accountability throughout San Luis Obispo County that they expect each day from our talented journalists.
While McClatchy employees who can work remotely have been asked to do so through Labor Day due to the pandemic, employees in and around San Luis Obispo will continue to work at home through the end of the year.
We know the office space of today is not what the office space will be in six months as it relates to social distancing and keeping our employees safe. In 2021, after the commercial real estate industry has sorted itself out with regard to new standards and approaches, we will find a new, centralized home in San Luis Obispo.
We will continue to keep the lines of communications open with our readers. You can reach us now and through our transition via our main line at 805-781-7803. You can always reach out to individual staff members as well. You can find that information on our website at sanluisobispo.com under the customer service tab.
Thank you for all your continued support.
