We all know that the Newspaper Industry in a time honored tradition of the last hundred+ years, and our morning routine. But beyond that, it is a syncopated, well-oiled machine of fast-paced writing, art-creation, and daily personal drive that most people rarely see or even think about in this instant gratification society. We as consumers, in our digital age, have the innate ability to instantly devour news and content at an exorbitant rate. We rarely realize what goes into creating the content we so rapidly digest.
I was so fortunate to work for one such place; the Times Community Newspapers. From a Pre-Pressman at a printing facility in Xenia, to a Graphic Designer and in-house Webmaster, I saw the inner workings of not one, but multiple weekly newspapers that were integral to their respective communities. Seeing firsthand how these printed news engines came together; from stories, advertisements, and graphics, to how they were printed and delivered to homes was an extraordinary process. These are a few samples of my work from my time there.
