On the newspaper’s 90th anniversary more than 50 years ago, the building at 603 S. Sam Rayburn was dedicated and celebrated as the new site of the Sherman (Texas) Democrat. On Dec. 14, the building closed to employees for the final time.
While the newspaper continues, the building will no longer house the paper. Staff will continue to work remotely until a new site has been selected.
“We are excited to find a new home that is more modern and fitting of a multi-media digital news and advertising agency,” Nate Rodriguez, senior group publisher and regional vice president - Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, said. “While we love our building, it was built in the early 1960s and needs some technological upgrades to make it more conducive to a modern newspaper and media company. Since COVID, all of our employees are working virtual, but an actual office for our staff is imperative for collaboration. Our staff will continue to work virtually, as they are now, until we find our new office."
