Nicolai Ouroussoff reviews The New York Times’ new building in the paper’s Art & Design section.
The critic includes, as usual in our industry, a very pessimistic paragraph:
Even as journalists at The Times adjust to their new home, they worry about the future. As advertising inches decline, the paper is literally shrinking; its page width was reduced in August. And some doubt that newspapers will even exist in print form a generation from now.
If this is the mood inside the building, The New York Times is in trouble.
The first step to survival is to have hope.

A nice box for an old-fashioned newsroom design.
