The Orlando Sentinel announced Wednesday it will leave its downtown building, the newspaper’s home since 1951.
"After careful deliberation, we have decided to permanently vacate our Orange Avenue office,” Publisher and General Manager Nancy Meyer said in an email to Sentinel employees. “This decision was not made lightly or hastily. Instead, amid a pandemic that prevents us from safely returning to the office for an undetermined period of time, the company decided to formally close the Orange Avenue office on October 30, 2020.”
She added, “In the coming months we will continue to examine the workplace needs for the teams currently based at the downtown office. We will keep you informed of additional decisions as they are made. Until then, we ask that employees continue to work in remote status.”
