Members of the Jefferson City Rotary Club were treated to a tour of the Jefferson City News-Tribune's production facility January 3. Mike Vivion, the newspaper's vice president and general manager, explained the workings of the presses and other machinery; Mike is in the center of the group photo facing left, toward the press.
Completed five years ago, the facility features a three-story high press, plus another story of paper- and ink-handling equipment in the basement; Mary Russell and Don Hiatte are shown with the black ink tank. Club members got to see the press in action printing the food section that will appear in the January 5 edition of the News-Tribune.
Many thanks to Mike and the News-Tribune for a most interesting and informative tour.
