Our adjunct faculty member Craig Silverman is in Lima, Peru, and he has tweeted some images from El Comercial. They’re pretty stunning.

I will bet that El Comercio's archive room is nicer than yr newspaper's. All the wood came from Nicaragua. #GDACAF14 pic.twitter.com/GmryiUPXDk

Here are some more images Silverman took from the building, which the paper owns. Silverman says these are from near the newsroom.
What does your newsroom look like? Email or tweet me photos of the good, the bad and anything else you want to share and I’ll collect them in a post. On Halloween I wrote about a final get-together at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune before the newspaper moves on to newer digs. That story also contains a growing list of newspapers that have left their buildings.
I like this quote from The Washington Post’s Robert Costa in a piece for Capital New York on Tuesday about the Post’s newsroom:
I get a kick out of the fact that the look of the newsroom hasn’t changed too much since the 1970s when Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were roaming the halls. You remember that as much as the Post is a vigorous and forward-looking news organization, it is also one with a rich history—and I’m lucky to be here.
Here’s are a few pictures of Poynter, which is a newsroom for those of us who write the news from there and a totally lovely place to work. These are my favorites, from the ladies’ and gents’ bathrooms. (My colleague Ren LaForme took the latter.)
