Scenes from the old Inky building, now being upgraded to a brothel, via
CNN. Bonus: Photographic proof, if any were needed, that no copy editor ever gave a damn for the dress code.
Deadline for the Philadelphia InquirerQuote:
Like many newspapers that once set agendas for their communities and brought in huge profits, The Philadelphia Inquirer is searching for revenue and relevance in today’s digital culture.
Photographer Will Steacy has spent four years with unrestricted access to the people and machines running the paper. His father worked at the Inquirer, and Steacy is the first in a long line in his family not to be part of the newspaper industry.
“As a descendant of five generations of newspaper men, and growing up running around the newsroom as a kid, I of course feel a close personal connection to The Philadelphia Inquirer and newspaper industry as a whole,” Steacy told CNN. Steacy's father was an editor at the Inquirer for 29 years until he was laid off in a recent round of staff cuts.
With his unique connection, he said he hoped to portray longtime journalists in a way they might not see themselves and show outsiders what goes into a daily paper during a tumultuous time.
