HQ Function

Serves as the central hub for all news gathering, editorial processes, digital production, advertising sales, circulation management, and administrative operations.

Notable Features:

The building is a well-known fixture in downtown Santa Rosa, housing a modern newsroom equipped for multimedia journalism. Historically, newspaper offices like this were also sites for printing presses, though many now outsource printing.

Work Culture:

A dynamic, deadline-driven environment typical of a daily news organization. Emphasis is placed on journalistic integrity, accuracy, local community engagement, and collaboration among reporters, editors, photographers, and digital staff. There's a strong sense of mission to inform the public.

HQ Significance:

The headquarters' location in Santa Rosa allows for close proximity to key government offices, businesses, and community events, facilitating comprehensive news coverage of Sonoma County.

Values Reflected in HQ: The physical presence in the community underscores its commitment to local journalism, transparency, and serving as a watchdog for the public interest in Sonoma County.

Location:

The Press Democrat's primary operational focus is Sonoma County and the North Bay area of California. Its 'global presence' is achieved through its website, pressdemocrat.com, which allows its local journalism to be accessed by readers anywhere in the world. The company does not maintain physical international offices for news gathering or publication specific to other countries; its content is internationally relevant when covering local industries with global reach (e.g., wine) or events attracting international attention.
