Democrat-Herald

Last week we took our class trip to the Albany Democrat-Herald.  I really had no idea what to expect since I had never been to a paper before, but I knew it would be intresting because I read the paper every day.

The first thing I noticed was there was not very much parking in the lot as I drove up to park.  Once inside the tour began and I started to see some pretty cool stuff.

The first thing I learned from our trip was just how the paper was produced.  I really had no idea how they made the paper everyday and now I have a understanding of the whole process that it takes.

The second thing I learned was how they take big sheets of metal and print the paper on it and mold it into the days paper and use that for the press.  I kever knew they had to do that for every page on every paper of every day.

The last thing I learned was that while they had lots of people on staff, not many of them were there during the day.  They were off getting informationg for the story.

Overall I learned a lot from the trip.
