The Argus, the daily paper that serves Brighton, is to move from its unloved offices in a trading estate on the city's fringes.
In a story about its current headquarters being acquired by the local bus company, the paper reveals that it owner, Newsquest/Gannett, "is actively searching for a new base in Brighton."
But the really fascinating aspect of this move - which is not reported by the paper - is that the unused printing press is being dismantled and will be sold off as scrap.
In other words, there are no buyers for old presses nowadays or, at least, if there are, then no-one is prepared to pay more than a scrap metal merchant.
That says something about the state of the newsprint industry, does it not?
Anyway, the Argus staff are delighted with the decision to move from Hollingbury. The premises are grim and the location is terrible. The company surely cannot find anywhere quite as bad this time around.
