Earlier this month, with only a few nights of production left, the seniors at The Michigan Daily visited Michigan Web Press to see Behind the scenes of the printing process. The tradition is something I’ve looked forward to doing since I was a freshman, especially after I saw the amazing photos my editors took on their visits to the printer. I was given special access to some of the more hard to navigate areas with endless photo opportunities. I could have stayed there all night taking photos of the ink covered hands of the employees and the blur of papers as they shuffle through the machines. To see the final step in the paper’s creation, to watch the photos we take and place in the layout actually appear on paper brought the whole production process, and my entire career at The Daily, full circle.
