Rochester's News Hub Seeks a Fresh Space

The Democrat and Chronicle, a longstanding news source in Rochester, is planning a big change. They want to move out of their current office on East Main Street by late 2026. This isn't just about finding a new place to work. It's about creating a space that helps them do their job better. The news team wants a place that encourages teamwork and face-to-face interactions. They believe this will help them deliver the news that Rochesterians rely on. The move is part of their plan to stay relevant and serve the community well into the future.The Democrat and Chronicle has been around since 1833. That's a lot of history! They've been in their current building since 2016. Before that, they were in the Gannett Building on Exchange Blvd. for many years. Gannett Co. Inc. , now known as USA TODAY Co. , was once headquartered in Rochester. But that's a story for another time. The news team is clear about their mission. They want to keep providing trusted news to the community. The move is a step towards that goal. It's not just about changing locations. It's about evolving to meet the needs of the community.
