It will be up to the Center for Investigative Reporting to figure out how to integrate The Bay Citizen as one of its brands following their just-announced merger.

Adithya Sambamurthy’s somber newsroom photo of staffers lined up Tuesday in front of new bosses Phil Bronstein and Robert Rosenthal has an all-too-familiar look in this age of media uncertainty. It feels melancholy; like the end of something important, regardless of how the next chapter turns out.
