I will be a guest on Tim Driscoll's and Sam Slaiby's "City Views" cable TV call-in program at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday (Dec. 7) on local Cablevision Channel 5 to discuss The Register Citizen's Newsroom Cafe project.

We'll see about possibly getting it live-streamed on RegisterCitizen.Com as well, for those of you who do not have cable or live outside Channel 5's coverage area.

Please call in with your questions.

Our announcement on Thursday about The Register Citizen moving its offices to 59 Field Street, with an "Open Newsroom" concept that welcomes the community to be part of the process of local journalism at any step in the process, got lots of attention within the newspaper industry.

Here's a roundup of some of the coverage, in case you missed it:

- From our newspaper, "Register Citizen to move office, open Newsroom Cafe"

- My column, "Come by for a cup of coffee, and a lot more"

- From the tech blog, GigaOm, "For newspapers, the future is now: Digital must be first"

- From Bud Wilkinson's blog, "Two kinds of tips at Newsroom Cafe?"

Finally, there's lots more on our Newsroom Cafe and related new office plans at RegisterCitizen.Com/newsroomcafe, and we'll be updating with more details as the date of our move approaches and in the weeks following our opening.

Come by for coffee, and a lot more

Well, in case you missed our announcement yesterday, The Register Citizen will be moving its offices in a few weeks. We’re not going far, to 59 Field Street, just down the street and around the corner from our longtime headquarters on Water Street. But we’ve come a long way. The Register Citizen has published from its building on Water Street for 110 years. And for 108 years or so, the business model was pretty much the same.
