Sadly this illustrates why the Journal is becoming a joke. This would have been relevant news a few months ago, now it just seems like they have been asleep for a long time like Rip Van Winkle.

As for the word "transformational", please enough with the hyperbole. Yes, it is good and will help the area, but it is one building in a complex of a number of other existing buildings.

The word “HELP” strategically placed placed would have been more reflective of it‘s impact.

Does anyone posting here actually subscribe to the Edmonton Journal? I am not paying to read Staples or the EJ that’s for sure. Cancelled our subscription at least 5 years ago. Print media is dead and negative mouth's like Staples killed it.

I grew up reading the Journal voraciously, but I would never subscribe in its current form. The fact that so much of their meagre resources are devoted to David Staples (of all people!) is the nail in the coffin to me.
 
Meh - newspapers are for old farts. These days most of us can access the news on our mobile phones.

I do read it on line from time to time. I also had a subscription years ago, but the quality and content now is not worth paying for a subscription anymore.

Part of it is Staples and some of the other columnists, who are just an echo chamber of negativity. I guess there is some audience for that, but I feel not enough for it to be viable.
 
Most stories like this are done through Marketing groups. I read announcements from media people and then reading the exact same piece as a news blurb. Journalism as I knew it as a kid has long since died.

Actually, this piece (I won't call it an article or news) is bought by MacEwan.

If you look at the top of the page, you'll see the words:
This article is
Advertised
by MacEwan University

No journalist was involved in its production, nor was the newsroom.
