NBC News Gets All Shook Up

The current global news gathering system for NBC News is apparently undergoing an overhaul.

Insiders told TVNewser that the current system will be replaced with regional hubs covering large areas of the U.S. and, in some cases, the world.

The Chicago bureau will close, with that market being covered by the New York hub; the Dallas bureau will also fall, to be covered by Los Angeles.

That Atlanta hub will gather news in the Southeast U.S. as well as the Caribbean and Latin America. The D.C. hub will be unaffected. It is unclear what will happen to the London bureau, which covers Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
