Waynesboro Record Herald
In the coming weeks, a For Sale sign will go up on The Record Herald office at 30 Walnut St. in Waynesboro.
However, we're not going anywhere.
The Record Herald will continue to report on this community and serve the Waynesboro area with great advertising services in print and online.
The space we are in simply does not fit who we are now. In fact, because of COVID-19, we have not used that space much at all since March, with most staff working from home.
Many -- perhaps most -- newspapers in America have sold their real estate over the past 20 years. Once we needed sprawling facilities with room for a printing press, advertising, finance and other departments, as well as the newsroom. Today, most newspapers have consolidated everything from printing (The Record Herald is now printed in Harrisburg) to payroll and the need for local office space just isn't as great as it once was.
