A monolithic mess gone morose

Flashback to my October 13th post. My editor took me on a tour of our giant news building, and I was aghast at how much space was going to waste at an incredibly high cost. I offered two options: rent out the extra space or sell the entire building.

Well, it looks like selling is no longer an option. According to the AP, newspapers all over the country are starting to put their behemoth buildings on the market, only they're a few months too late. With the credit crunch, potential buyers are scarce if not completely out of the picture. Like we needed more bad news.

But all is not lost. Here are some reasons to be a happy journalist.
