A glimpse into the bustling world of the Daily Mirror Newsroom: From the 1950s to the 1990s, this iconic space at Holborn, London, was a hub of journalistic innovation and creativity. Journalist David Wastell once worked among these walls for the Tavistock Times and Sunday Independent. In the Daily Mirror Newsroom of the late 1950s, photographers gathered at the Picture Desk, while editors discussed front-page stories on the Editorial Floor. Decades later, in the 1980s, a diverse group of Indian editors visited, reflecting the paper's commitment to representation and inclusivity. Through it all, the Daily Mirror Newsroom continued to break news and shape public discourse, leaving an indelible mark on British journalism.
