Visiting the Free Press

The class went to tour the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Frank Anthony gave a very thorough tour highlighting some of the features of the building from back in the day then leading us up through their newer, larger, color press. From lithographic printing to today’s flexography, I now have a better understanding the print world of the newspaper. It is an exciting, fast pace environment with quick turn around. The most exciting part for me was to see the paper being printed while there, and then reading it mere hours later.
