Professional Event: Kalamazoo Gazette

Author: Brother Roiser

On Thursday March 13th and Friday March 14th, we went on a tour of the Kalamazoo Gazette. The Kalamazoo Gazette is a great local company that embarks in many different areas. The tour began in the creative room of the marketing department. This room was completely designed by employees and is designed to be comfortable to come up with new and innovative ideas for the Gazette. Next we went to the news room, which is where all the writing and designing of the Gazette takes place. Following the news room, we were able to see the presses in action! The Kalamazoo Gazette is a Noontime newspaper which generally runs their distribution between 10am and 11am. It only takes an hour to run approximately 30,000 full newspapers. While the presses were running, the newspapers zoomed around us (even from the ceiling). Then the papers move down into the basement, where advertisements are inserted and the papers are bundled and put into the trucks for delivery. It was really interesting to see what all goes into the newspaper business.
