Today our trip took us to the Greenock Telegraph. We have been looking at communication in class and today we were looking at one way that a message gets out - the local paper!
We visited the front desks where the advertising sales happen. We then spoke to the editor, journalists and went into the newsroom where the action all happens.
The Telegraph is the oldest evening paper in the whole of Scotland and is one of only 5 evening papers in the whole country.
We saw a room that few people get to see where copies of the paper from as far back as the 1850s are stored. Amazing to think that as we've been looking at the Victorians, the Greenock Telegraph was published whilst Queen Victoria was on the throne!
It was a really interesting visit and gave a few of the ideas about future careers in journalism.
