Dying newsroom
Now this is just sad: a Mother Jones photo essay of a dying newsroom. Pictures are worth 1,000 words — especially when there are no more words being written.

This is no ordinary
This is no ordinary newsroom.
The San Jose Mercury News was the FIRST daily newspaper in history to go online.
It was in this newsroom where the beginning of the end started for the current carnage you see around you in newsrooms everywhere – irony with a capital “I.”
Apparently early adopter status doesn’t guarantee anything. The Merc News recognized the potential way before everyone, but even they couldn’t wrestle it to profitability.
Yes it is sad, but when one door slams shut, a virtual revolving door across town just starts spinning faster.
