We are about to begin our
Los Angeles Times tour.
These early arrivals are in the historic Globe Lobby at First and Spring
streets. |
|
There is a historical newspaper exhibit
in the Globe Lobby. We learned that the printing presses (which are many
decades newer than this model) are no longer at the Downtown location. |
|
These MC101s started the day with breakfast at Philippe's, which has been in Downtown Los Angeles since 1912. |
|
Our tour guide, Darrell Kunitomi,
started with a discussion of the Times' place in Los Angeles history. |
|
Darrell showed us all around the newsroom
and other offices. We are in the food section. |
|
The MC101s had an excellent opportunity
to see how a major metropolitan newspaper operates, and to ask questions
about it. |
|
Of course, the paper version of the Times
is quickly being supplanted by the online version. Our tour ended with a
discussion of whether the future of newspapers is completely online. On to tour walking tour of Downtown. |
