Eighth Grade Publications Class Goes to the E.O.

         This last wednesday October 29th 2014 Mrs.Webster's 8th grade publication's class went to the East Oregonian for a field trip. While they were there they met Daniel who works there as an editor. Daniel took them on a little tour and told them what each person he introduced the class to did.

         Then he took everyone into a room with a projector and a few tables, each with notepads and a pen at each chair. E.J The photographer for the E.O. talked to the students about his job. The students asked questions such as,asked by Makenzie McLeod, “How do you come up with interesting topics people will enjoy?”
Asked by Faith Akers, “What if you make a mistake?” For Makenzie’s question they said that trying to come up with a topic that is interesting isn't that hard. You just have to listen to people, and if you're interested in something chances are that others will be too. And for Faith’s question they said that mistakes happen all the time, so if they haven't printed yet then they will have someone fix it. If it's already been printed they just hope no one notices. 
After almost every student asked a question and got an answer, the class then got to go on a tour of where they print the papers. While they were back there they learned about the machines that make the papers. This concluded their trip to the E.O. I talked to some of the students afterwards and they seemed to have liked it. They said that the trip was very useful and that they had fun while they were there.
