Here's how it happens. Editorial First, editors meet with reporters, photographers and artists in the news room to discuss important things happening within the community. Reporters and photographers go out into the community to get information for their assignments. After reporters have gathered all their information, they go back to the newspaper and write their stories on personal computers.
Photographers return to the newspaper and develop their photos.
The photos are scanned into a computer terminal for final touch-up. Assignment editors read and EDIT the reporters' finished stories. They also select photographs to go with the stories. These ads inform the community of services or products the advertiser has for sale. After a print-out of the finished ad has been seen and approved by the advertiser, the ad is sent via computer to the news room, where it is joined with the editorial stories and photos to create a complete newspaper page.
