The PSNE interns went on a tour Friday of the Gettysburg Times daily newspaper to catch a glimpse of everyday journalism at work. We walked around the newsroom as reporters worked on their stories in their cubicles. Administrative offices line the newsroom's perimeter.
Discussing the tough circumstances facing the industry today, Times editor BJ Small described ways small, medium and large newspapers are adapting to revenue losses. He described efforts to reduce the size of their broadsheets and other cost-cutting measures.
Following the newsroom tour, we explored the press room, where the Gettysburg Times produces its own publications. The newspaper also creates content for a periodical published in Spanish to cater to the area's Hispanic community.
The visit was enlightening, engaging and empowering for us young journalists who aspire to make a name for ourselves in this highly competitive yet enjoyable industry.
