Can you explain this sentence for me, I don't really understand that.
This is that sentence:
These days the editor, subeditors and journalists who put the paper together are likely to find themselves in a totally different building or maybe even in a different city. This is the situation which now prevails in Sydney
This is the Paragraph :
The newspaper production process has come along way from the old days when the paper was written, edited, typeset and ultimately printed in one building with the journalists working on the upper floors and the printing presses going on the ground floor. These days the editor, subeditors and journalists who put the paper together are likely to find themselves in a totally different building or maybe even in a different city. This is the situation which now prevails in Sydney. The daily paper is compiled at the editorial headquarters, known as the prepress centre, in the heart of city, but printed far away in the suburds at the printing centre. Here human beings are the minority as much of the work is done by automated machine control by computers.

It is expensive to have an office in the city. Therefore, only the jounalists work in the city. A journalist will sit in her office in the city, and type a newspaper article on her computer. When she has finished, she will use an email to send the article to a building far away from the city.
In that separate building, all the articles are combined on computers, and the newspaper is printed on very large printing machines. These machines are extremely big, and it would be too expensive to have them in the city. So, these machines are put in a building in the suburbs, far away from the city.
Does that help explain the sentences you did not understand?

I think this is more suited for the Questions and Answers page, but I'll still answer your question. The article is talking about how in the old days, the entire creation of a newspaper was done in one building. Now, most companies don't follow that format and have the people doing the writing and designing in the prepress center, but the printing is now in the suburbs rather than in the city.
