Want to buy a newspaper building?

My current paper moved out of its building maybe a decade ago, after selling the presses. It's a Chinese church now, but still looks the same on the outside.

My college newspaper recently bought an on-campus house and is trying to raise the funds to renovate it into a newsroom. I'm not sure what's happening to the University-owned building where the newsroom is currently housed, whether that's slated for redevelopment or this is another move to ensure the paper's independence. The sports office, which is papered with decades of stories and inside jokes, will never be the same.

Dwight Bentel Hall at San Jose State is still standing and in use. The university put the statue of Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the podium in Mexico City in front of the building.

The Atwater Signal, where it all started, was a converted bar and grill and, to the best of my knowledge, is abandoned.

Merced Sun-Star? When they built the place in the 60s, they loved it so much they put a drawing of it in the masthead. Still serviceable when I did a couple of stints there in sports and news desk. When McClatchy bought the place, they moved printing elsewhere, and eventually sold to the city for a police substation after McClatchy downsized the paper. But the building was such a mess it couldn't be used for that, a warming fire caught it on fire and the condemnation process did the rest.

Turlock Journal, Today's News-Herald (Lake Havasu City) and Hanford Sentinel also moved to different headquarters, either via downsizing or something more tech friendly.
