Once upon a time, the Gazette was a thriving local newspaper, employing a couple dozen reporters that covered all the news fit to print throughout Gray Harbor County. Now... well, the internet happened, and readership dwindled. The large, downtown office was sold off, and the paper moved to a ground-floor facility in Spruce Industrial Plaza; the basement room houses the printing press, which only runs on Saturdays for distribution on Sunday. The upstairs office has a newsroom with space for a dozen reporters, with a single receptionist in the front, a break-room in the back, and a couple of offices - the managing editor and a couple of senior reporters get their own offices. Nowadays, the newspaper is mostly a web presence with a subscription offered so locals can access local news and archives; the front page is splashed with articles from the AP. Sundays, though, there's still a physical copy available to straggling subscribers.
The floor is a stained beige carpet, and the walls are painted a dull greenish color, splattered here and there with bulletin boards and "THIS MUST BE POSTED" signs.
