The Asbury Park Press is putting its Neptune office building on the market and will begin to look for a new location, the newspaper reported Thursday.
According to the newspaper's website, "The company's manufacturing facility moved to Neptune from Asbury Park in 1980, followed by its news and business office operations in 1985."
The Route 66 office was considered state-of-the-art when the newspaper moved from its much smaller facility at Press Plaza in Asbury Park. The newspaper went beyond the warehouse look that was typical of media offices, and created a building with a glassy lobby, cafeteria, a nurse's office and a running trail.

It hardly matters where their office is, or isn't.
The APP's coverage of local events is dismal. No investigative reporting, no simple questions to business/industry/government shills. Shameful, really.
I thought that their coverage had improved and that (maybe) they'd staffed up after Sandy. But no. The coverage of outages during the last Nor'Easter was eclipsed by both Patch and The Star Ledger.

Local coverage at most of the Gannett newspapers has suffered given the many editorial cuts the company has made. The Daily Record in Parsippany may be the worst.

The Depressed is owned by Gannett, which likes to violate the privacy of law-abiding citizens, so--"I hope they fail".
