Newspapers are moving to electronic versions and cutting back on or eliminating their print editions. As a result, they don’t need large headquarters, especially if they no longer have to house a printing press. So, many are selling their often-iconic buildings, which are then converted into high-priced condos and luxury apartments. You can buy a condo in the classic Chicago Tribune building for a cool $7.6 million.

Chicago Tribune - when I did visit in the 1990's with a group of other Graphic Arts experts, we admired the many women being employed operating their presses. An observation I shared with my students at RIT.
The trends to downsize newspaper production continues. My son, living in the Cleveland area, informed me of reduced printed editions of the Plain Dealer. Where I live in New Hampshire, a free, daily newspaper is thriving.
Maybe the cost of the newspapers has something to do with reading yesterdays news. Thank for another great video.
