WGBH will expand its coverage of central Massachusetts with the opening of a new bureau in the former Worcester Telegram & Gazette headquarters this spring.
The WGBH News Worcester Bureau at 27 Federal St. will include a broadcast and online studio creating content for the station and its digital platforms.
WGBH joins Quinsigamond Community College’s Healthcare and Workforce Development Center, the Worcester IdeaLab, the Worcester PopUp! And Ten24 at the downtown Worcester property. The station will collaborate with local colleges on internships and offer convening space to local organizations.
Support for the new bureau includes donations from the C. Jean & Myles McDonough Charitable Foundation and The George F. and Sybil H. Fuller Foundation.
