A Trip to the E.O.

It was an interesting time today at the East Oregonian while watching Mrs.Webster’s Publication's class on their field trip. They learned a lot about how to write on a blog and how to take photos. The day was October 29th, 2014.

The tour started with them going past the ad room where the writers of the advertisements work. Next they went to where all the newspaper article writers work and they met EJ, and Tim. The tour was given to them by Daniel. All of the students as well as Mrs.Webster got taken to a conference room where they got to ask questions and be told a bunch of information on how to be an excellent member of a publication group. Some of them asked questions, and some of the questions were things such as ‘What happens when you publish a mistake?’, or ‘What do you do when you can’t get the information you need from the person it’s about?’. 
After all of the questions were asked the tour guide Daniel directed the students to where all the newspapers are made. Daniel stood behind them while another worker who works in the newspaper making area showed them around. He explained how much newspaper they make a day; he showed the ink colors, and the printing devices.

Once he was done explaining, the whole class walked out of the EO and left to go back to school. They all said how they enjoyed the trip. They all were very excited about the information they learned about taking photos and writing for a blog. While going onto the bus they were all very grateful for the field trip because they got out of 8th period.
