Looking like cub reporters on their first day on the job, Leander Lu, Efrain Berrio and, Jacob Hsu from Arcadia Pack 111Cub Scouts Tiger Scouts got a first hand look at how the newspaper business works last week .
Dan Hsu, Den Leader of Arcadia Tiger Scouts Pack 111 led a field trip for some Tiger Scouts last week to see the inner workings of their hometown newspaper, Arcadia Weekly.
The young Scouts from 111 were fascinated to see the small but highly efficient computer production operations in full swing the day before deadline.
As staff photographer Terry Miller captured the scouts’ enthusiasm with his digital Single Lens Reflex camera. He then showed the boys and girls how the images just made will end up in the final layout of the paper.
Enter, John Stephens, Managing Editor of Beacon Media’s five newspapers, who then placed the images Miller shot on a digital page on a computer screen in preparation of layout. As editor, Stephens chose an image of Leander Lu, Efrain Berrios, Jacob Hsu reading a recent print edition, the boys looked on as they saw their image come alive on the screen.
The Scouts seemed to enjoy meeting the staff of Arcadia Weekly and getting their pictures in the local paper was an unexpected, added bonus.
