Covid-19 has changed the ways we operate. When the government announced the lockdown to minimize the spread of the contagious virus, newspapers quickly strategized the operations to ensure the reach of newspapers safely to the readers. Fewer workers in the plant, turn shifts, sanitizing the workplace, and work from home have been in place since then. With this new normal in place, how can the newspaper companies bring business to normal? What are the challenges and opportunities Covid-19 has brought to us?
