Once a page with the news and advertising content arrives electronically at the production department, it is sent to a image processor that creates a negative as large a single newspaper page. These negatives are then used to create metal plates that are used for the printing press. The newsprint starts on the press as one continuous sheet on a roll that weighs hundreds of pounds. The press is able to print hundreds of copies of the newspaper each minute. These papers come off the press and onto a conveyor belt, where they are bundled and sent to carriers.
Carriers then deliver the newspapers to stores and homes.
The Daily News also offers speakers on a variety of journalism and newspaper-related topics. As the newspapers roll off the press, they are checked for color and printing quality. After papers are printed for the day, the circulation depart- ment's work is just starting. The department is responsible for seeing that papers are delivered each day.
