With the transformation of news production spaces driven by digital technologies,the field of journalism research has embarked on a spatial turn.This study grounded in Lefebvre's theory of the production of space and Harvey's dialectical analysis of absolute,relative,and relational spaces,uses the relocation of The Paper's newsroom as a case study to analyze the attributes and significance of this journalistic space before and after the move.In the post-industrial era of global journalism,traditional newspaper newsrooms in the United States have been relocating to suburban areas,while The Paper chose to"return to headquarters,stay downtown."This study explores the motivations behind this decision within the context of China and its outcomes.The research finds that this geographical shift is also a metaphor for media convergence.The relocation of The Paper's newsroom is seen as achieving cost management and content production in absolute space,reshaping digital news production workflows in relative space,and sparking renewed enthusiasm for the next decade of development in relational space.This move deepens media convergence and ultimately aims to better support the modernization of the national governance system and capabilities.
