The Pendleton office of the East Oregonian newspaper played host to students from Sunridge Middle School. The students took the field trip on Wednesday, Oct. 29 learning about how the staff at the East Oregonian puts together and prints the newspaper. Daniel Wattenburger met the students in the lobby of the East Oregonian offices. He led them on a tour that included visiting the reporters’ desks and ended in the conference room for a lesson about the newspaper production.
Daniel provided the students with a general overview of the newspaper process from story development to final printing. Tim Trainor presented information about his role as a newspaper reporter, and E.J. Harris told the students about his role as the newspaper’s photographer. The students were provided a reporter’s notebook so they could take notes during the Q&A session which took place at the end of the presentation.
Next, the students entered the printing room which is located within the same building. They toured through the room while learning the names and functions of the equipment. At the conclusion of the tour, the students exited the building with knowledge on how a newspaper runs and boarded a school bus for their return to school.
