Edmund Lee, an editor on the Times\u2019 trust team, led the tour. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/by\/edmund-lee\">Lee\u2019s work<\/a> focuses on improving readers\u2019 understanding of how the newsroom operates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students entered the Times\u2019 massive, well-lit lobby at 9:30 a.m., and the newsroom was already bustling. The building is encased in glass, symbolizing the paper\u2019s intention to produce transparent journalism and maintain their accountability to the public. The Times\u2019 influence cannot be understated. Many students were surprised to learn that Times Square got its name from the paper.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The class first stopped by The Times\u2019 in-house museum, which includes such historical items as the first edition of The Times, a miniature model of its previous building, and a display about the printing process. There are also articles on display from The Times\u2019 archives covering topics from World War II to the civil rights movement. The museum serves as a time capsule of world history and a reminder of the values that The Times works to uphold.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdHcDsRnaX5VgFabN7imTO6K_Q7Uu6Ea0k2NANQGrGTuuQFifpIha3FDww_xCMtb99rRX1pEZxaHDueCNPzLOQA4BOrYn6L668ckwJWQUPHtrHNqSJG9fh0CyZ2Syio3xTjq-BRfg?key=FdClO1eX1zSDe-8hu7DoxsDR\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The group then walked through The Times\u2019 newsroom, passing by the famous red staircase where the editors announce their Pulitzer Prize winners. They received a glimpse into the paper\u2019s day-to-day operations with reporters and editors typing away at their desks and teams meeting in conference rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXctvKwubqkqh6wPimO7ya8QdZ301XdfBLjBVPqzBLlKdB8HLVPJjObBJTTef6C0SZnmA9aWFf6ZXkwCxPs-j7jaNZwJxkv-Y1ZZqhDuKVAWSIzRR1KGLHf4ghZUdbGZ1suPg_wF?key=FdClO1eX1zSDe-8hu7DoxsDR\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the group attended a career panel led by Carla Correa, The Times\u2019 deputy director of career programs. Correa and Lee spoke about their career paths and tips for aspiring journalists. Raven Campbell, a senior at Hunter, said that what stood out to most to her was learning that many of the people who work at The Times don\u2019t have academic backgrounds in journalism, &#8220;so there really is an opportunity for people of all different majors to find a position there.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Sissel McCarthy\u2019s News Literacy in a Digital Age class took a trip to the New York Times on Dec. 2.
