In response to the University’s eviction of the Brown Daily Herald from their building of fifty years to the WBRU building, editors are reportedly kinda flattered to follow in the footsteps of other gutted, deteriorating newspapers.

“This obligatory eviction from our traditional workspace lends us legitimacy as a real, waningly relevant newspaper,” said Metro Editor Tilda Heffrey with a glimmer of pride in her eyes. “We are pretty ecstatic that this move places us squarely in a history of great declining newspapers like the Chicago Tribune. Being associated with fading glory is the greatest compliment we’ve gotten in years.”

“I never imagined this happening to little-old-us,” continued Heffrey. “There are so many bigshots in the category of failing journalistic institutions forced to vacate historical buildings; it’s honestly flattering to have anything in common with the Denver Post, Boston Herald, and Los Angeles Times.”

At press time, the Indy confirmed that their newsroom is still a cloud of floating letters.
