As previously announced, there are no plans to cut jobs as part of the restructuring; however, GNM is conducting a round of voluntary redundancies, and more than 20 journalists have agreed leave, the Guardian reported.

“The move to a new building is the obvious moment to re-arrange the way we work in a way which more closely reflects the patterns of how people read and react to news,” said Alan Rusbridger, Guardian editor who was promoted to editor-in-chief of GNM last September, according to the Guardian. “Newspaper newsrooms are great for producing newspapers, but we can do so much more with the rich specialist resources across the Guardian, guardian.co.uk and the Observer.”

Reporters will create text, audio and video content for both newspapers and the Web site, and four new “platform-neutral” roles have been created, and will have responsibilities across the Guardian, the Observer and guardian.co.uk. Specialist reporters from all three titles will be seated together in “pods,” but will keep their current bylines, the Guardian reported.
