6. Since editorial pages are opinion, editors must be very careful in making sure that the line is not crossed between opinion and fact. Once this is done, the newspaper loses all credibility. The objective is to raise issues and awareness, not to simply make things up or cloud the issue so much with opinion that it becomes lost. What is the main idea?

8. The reporters, the editors, and all the other divisions of a newspaper contribute to the making of a newspaper’s content, but when it comes to printing, how is it physically made? In the 14th century they were made by ‘hot type’ machines, where the print was etched into the paper, whereas the presses that are used to print and assemble newspapers today are massive machines that use streaming sheets of paper. And even though the process inside a web press is extensive and complicated, the process all happens extremely quickly and one of today’s presses can create 70,000 copies of one newspaper in an hour. What is the main idea?
The printing process
How are they distributed?
