DC Comics shifts from New York to Burbank
Reading time: 1 minute
In a move that nobody quite saw coming, DC has formally announced that their publishing operation is moving from from New York to Burbank. This is interesting timing for the company, that has been having some troubled editorial disputes over the last couple months. One would hope that their would be a new sense of structure or even purpose, after such an immense amount of poor controversy. Even if many comics fans may be sour on the house of Batman at the moment, it could be sad if anyone loses their job over an internal restructuring within the establishment. Here is the full letter issued from the president of DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson.
Dear DCE Team,
As I hope you know, I and the entire DCE exec team work hard to offer transparency about as much of our business plans and results as we possibly and responsibly can. In an effort to continue to do that where possible and to ensure you are hearing news from us, rather than a third party, I am proactively reaching out to you this afternoon to share news about our business.
I can confirm that plans are in the works to centralize DCE’s operations in 2015. Next week, the Exec Team will be in New York for a series of meetings to walk everyone through the plans to relocate the New York operations to Burbank. The move is not imminent and we will have more than a year to work with the entire company on a smooth transition for all of us, personally and professionally.
Everyone on the New York staff will be offered an opportunity to join their Burbank colleagues and those details will be shared with you individually, comprehensively and thoughtfully next week. Meeting notifications will be sent tomorrow to ensure the roll out of this information and how it affects the company and you personally.
We know this will be a big change for people and we will work diligently to make this as smooth and seamless a transition as possible.
Best,
Diane
