I've never had the opportunity to see a newspaper printing press in person, a fact that I did not give much thought until stumbling on the cool Flickr page below. Not having this opportunity is hardly rare, but it's such a strange gap in what we do. Working to put copy in the newspaper and knowing just about nothing of what happens after we finish our job seems strange, like turning on the faucet and knowing water will come out.
Although, I'm a bit worried I'll leave the place wondering how this model of employing huge and expensive machinery to rush outdated news to newsstands has possibly sustained itself for so long. It could make for a depressing tour.
