The Reuters Institute of Journalism offers Changing Newsrooms 2020, a look round the world's news organisations about working in a pandemic, diversity issues and talent. The report only quotes one named UK editor, but he's quite powerful.
The biggest challenge for a daily news operation is the loss of instant communication which you have in a newsroom and the understanding by everyone why something is being done and how. In addition, the camaraderie and joint purpose, the human contact, the humour and spontaneity are bled dry by lack of contact and by technical interaction.
