Take the Albany Democrat-herald "demo" tour

At a glance:
Who: LBCC students
What: Students took tour at AlOn a tour at the Albany Democrat-herald observing the press room rolling out the tons of paper to print the newspaper, don't touch anything in the press room. If you do, do expect to have some printing ink, or a lot of printing ink on your hands, or brushed on your clothes. The printed newspaper has a basic four-color inks to make the colored print for the newspapers. The already known black and white print is the basic print in the paper, but special effects of colored print also adds to a great local paper, the Albany Democrat-Herald newspaper.

There seems to be too much negativity printed in newspaper, but when Steve Lundeberg was asked, he stated, "We try to meet the public of Albany for the citizen's needs and interests. Although there seems to be a lot of negative stories covered, we also try to direct the needs for the city of Albany.

The staff work together in a relaxed newsroom without much tension at all. Everyone seems very professional knowing what their field of reporting entails. When a last minute story happens which is highly important to run, the paper shuts down the operations, to get that up-most story reported. Their dead-lines have to be met by the time specified, or they could lose subscribers to the paper. The long-distance route of papers delivered go out first, maybe with some errors, but the closest paper, may be revised to be a corrected paper, with greater quality.
