    The Inquirer building also housed (until a few years before they moved) their printing plant, making it one of the last major dailies where it was at least theoretically possible for an editor to run downstairs and yell “stop the presses!” if a major story came in. But I’ll bet that didn’t actually happen very often.

      @mattblaze@federate.social I interned/worked in a building like this a long time ago, and it was possible to feel the rumble of the running presses while still in the newsroom offices. Impressive. Great photo.
