We are about to begin
our Los Angeles Times
tour. These early arrivals are outside the main entrance at First and Spring
streets. Eventually, enough students turned out to fill two tours. |
|
|
Before the Times field trip, though, a small group of us gathered for breakfast at Philippe's. |
|
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 seeing one of the Sunday sections before it has
been officially published. |
|
Pre-1985 news clippings are kept in original
paper format. The Times has a huge archive of them.
|
|
The MC101s had an excellent opportunity to see
how a major metropolitan newspaper operates, and to ask questions
about it. And when the tour was over, we all got reporters notebooks and
pencils. On to tour walking tour of Downtown. |
