Trip To The East Oregonian

My trip to the E.O. was very interesting. I learned that creating a newspaper is hard work. Different people have to turn in their stories on time, it's team work! Each person writes about seven stories every week. That’s one story a day. 
I found out how the newspaper is made, printed, and also that the E.O. doesn't just print the newspaper for Pendleton. They also print for John Day, Milton Freewater, Hermiston and more. The size of the newspaper depends on how many advertisements they get for the day. The more they get the bigger the newspaper, the less they get the smaller the newspaper. On regular days, the machines start at 4 PM. On Tuesdays the machines start at 2 PM because they have to print out other newspapers as well. Everyday when they turn on the machines they have a lot of papers they throw out because they have to get just the right amount of ink to make the page perfect. 
The downside to working for the paper is having to cover all the stories, even when there is terrible accidents or people die. The overall tour was great and I learned that it is very hard to put a newspaper together by yourself. It is important to work well with your coworkers!
