Here's an interesting piece of news that got lost in the shuffle yesterday afternoon:
the Herald-Leader is moving its printing and packaging operations from Lexington to Louisville in August, and putting its iconic building in downtown Lexington on the market.
The news, advertising, audience, and administrative staffs will remain in downtown Lexington in a space to be determined. Because of the move, 25 full-time and four part-time employees will be laid off. Once a staff of 550 in the early 2000s, the paper will now have a staff of 125 employees, making this yet another sad chapter in the decline of print media.
I remember driving past that building with my parents growing up and dreaming of working there (I think I even applied to be an intern during high school). My, how times have changed.
