BJ moving within months?
Is Canadian owner David
Black trying to find a new, smaller home for what’s left of the Beacon Journal?
Former BJ political writer
Abe Zaidan writes in his Grumpy Abe blog that it’s only a matter of a few
months – if Black Press can find someone to buy the once-hallowed building.
The “mausoleum” has all the
departments on the third floor. The rest of the structure is vacant, except for
a guard on the ground floor. A newsroom that once had more than 200 is down to
about 60.
Once the site of a Music
Hall, the Times-Press took over the 44 E. Exchange Street property in 1930. Scripps-Howard sold it in 1938 to
John S. Knight.

FYI, the publisher held a meeting with employees explaining the BJ will NOT be moving. They have looked as some places but found the cost too expensive. The plan is when and if a buyer is interested then they will rent from the new owner.
