We are about to begin our
Los Angeles Times
tour. These early arrivals are outside the main entrance at First and Spring
streets. Iconic Los Angeles City Hall is in the background. |
|
|
Before the Times field trip, though, a small group of us gathered for breakfast at Philippe's for breakfast. |
|
There is a historical newspaper exhibit in
the Globe Lobby. We learned that the printing presses (which are many
decades newer than this model) are no longer at the Downtown location. |
|
Our tour guide, Darrell Kunitomi,
started with a discussion of the Times' place in Los Angeles history.
Our delegation is in the historic Globe Lobby. |
|
Darrell showed us all around the newsroom
and other offices. We are in the newspaper's photo archive, where pre-1985
photos are still kept in paper format. |
|
The MC101s had an excellent opportunity to
discuss the role of newspapers in keeping citizens and voters informed about
things of public importance. Here, Darrell talked about some of the paper's
Pulitzer Prize-winning stories and photographs. |
|
The MC101s had an excellent opportunity to see
how a major metropolitan newspaper operates, and to ask questions about
it. The MC101s are looking into the paper's Test Kitchen, where Food section
recipes are tried out. On to tour walking tour of Downtown. |
