We are about to begin our Los Angeles Times tour. We're
across the street from Los Angeles City Hall. |
|
Before our tour we had breakfast at Philippe's, which has been in Downtown
Los Angeles since 1908. These members of the MC101 delgation examine some old-fashioned wood phone booths. |
|
On the the Times... There is a historical exhibit in the main lobby opf the Times Building. We learned that the printing presses (which are many decades newer than this model) are no longer at the Downtown location. |
|
Our tour guide, Darrell Kunitomi, showed
us all around the newsroom and other offices. We are in the newspaper's
photo archive, where pre-1985 photos are still kept in paper format. |
|
The MC101s had an excellent opportunity to see
how a major metropolitan newspaper operates, and to ask questions about
it. These MC101s are sitting in the Globe Lobby, where there is a historic
exhibit on the Times and its role in the growth of Los Angeles. On to tour walking tour of Downtown. |
