Olympic Pressroom on Native Intelligence

Jacob Soboroff and his camera made a stop at our production facility last week, and has a nice five minute video of several of the departments producing the Los Angeles Times.

The Times has two production facilities. The Olympic plant in downtown L.A. opened in June 1990 and according to a plaque in the lobby its 500 employees -- with help from 6 Goss Colorliner presses and dozens of robots -- produce 676 million copies of the Times annually. When I showed up to the "Oly" plant for a tour the presses were just starting to roll. Take a look: Video

Maybe we can get Jacob together with the publisher of the Times, David Hiller, for a short interview one day.

Meet Jacob Soboroff

Here’s Jacob Soboroff and myself outside the NLRB offices last Saturday, Jacob is a video blogger, and joined us for the counting of ballots. Jacob will be visiting the Olympic pressroom sometime soon for some live footage of the printing presses rolling out thousand of copies per hour. Should prove to be another interesting video, thanks for joining us Jacob.

Jacob joins us from Native Intelligence, a branch of LAObserved.

I invited Jabob Soboroff of Native Intelligence to the Los Angeles Times Olympic Facility three or four weeks ago, yet Media Relations at the square continues to give Jacob "We'll get back to you" response. Looks like we won't be featured in Jacob's Video Blog. Click on the link to see his work, I think this may be something the Times should add to their blogs, a video blogger.

In the mean time I have started making my own video's and Microsoft is snail mailing a CD with Movie Maker software to me, so I can edit my videos for better viewing.
