For some time, I have been intrigued with the thought of journalism as a career path. This is why I chose to take the Introduction to Journalism class this quarter. And this is why I was excited by the assignment of visiting an actual newspaper office. I wanted to get a real-world glimpse at how a newspaper goes from a collection of story ideas to a physical paper that we can hold and read. And I was not disappointed.

The Kirkland Reporter is the local paper for the City of Kirkland. It is a good reflection of the city; it is small and casual, yet professional at the same time. The staff is small, and it was encouraging to see how well they work together. They were obviously committed to creating a high-quality paper while working as a team.
Carrie, Matt and Mike were all hospitable and knowledgeable. They seemed genuinely pleased to talk with us, and willingly shared their experiences with us. The afternoon was informative and enjoyable.
