Believe it or not, one of my dreams in life is to take a tour of a newspaper printing factory. I know, it sounds kinda boring, but I find the process very fascinating. Everything in those printing press factories moves so quickly and so precisely that I feel like I could literally stand and watch paper go by me for hours without end.
I know that The New York Times has a printing facility located in Queens but I have yet to get a chance to go there and see what it’s like. I hope to do that one day, but in the meantime, I guess this video above of the last press run for The Boston Herald will do.
Anybody reading Doobybrain work at a factory and want to give me a tour? Contact me if you do!
