HuffPost UK relocates newsroom to Birmingham to escape 'London bubble'

HuffPost UK has announced plans to relocate its newsroom to Birmingham for a week, as it expands its team outside of London.

The news organisation will operate from the city's famous Bullring shopping centre from July 2-8.

The site will publish a series of exclusive reports and videos from across the city through the week.

HuffPost UK has also hired a reporter who will be based in Birmingham full time.

The company says the ultimate goal is "to step outside of the London media bubble and accurately, humanely and emotionally capture the concerns, hopes and dreams of people throughout the UK".

The people of Birmingham will be encouraged to have their say on the issues that really matter, and what they think HuffPost UK should be reporting on.
