This clue could be a double definition.

'where you'll find those doing a job in social media industry employing a' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'number of hacks' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

(Other definitions for newsroom that I've seen before include "press centre" , "Own Morse (anag)" , "Where reporters work" , "where headlines are made" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
