Putting it all together

PRODUCTION
DEPARTMENT
CUTS, PASTES
FINAL PRODUCT

THE NORTH Shore News’
busy Production department
is where the various compo-
nents of the newspaper come
together to form the final
product that is sent to the
printer.

Twenty-one staff members, in-
cluding typesetters, paste-up ar-
tists, a special projects person, two
supervisors and manager Vicki
Sargisson, work six days 2 week,
almost around the clock, to get the
News out on schedule.

Much of their time is spent do-
ing the real estate section of Fri-
day’s newspaper, which averages
48 pages.

The display ads that are found
in the rest of the newspaper take
two days to produce, so the Pro-
duction department gets the ad
layouts from the sales repre-
sentatives two days before press
day. For the Friday edition, for
example, the material for the ads is
supplied by 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
That night, the copy and photos
needed for the ads are ordered
from the appropriate department.

The next day, the ad is typeset,
pasted up and proofread by the
departiment’s proofreader.

On Thursday morning — press
day — a copy, or ‘‘proof,”’ of the
ad is faxed or delivered to the ad-
vertiser, who checks it and tele-
phones in aay corrections by noon.
Then the corrected ads are placed
on the page along with the editori-
al stories running in Friday’s
paper.

The department produces be-
tween 60 and 70 new ads for the

in the paper — there are usually
about 130 in total — are repeats
from earlier issues.

Meanwhile, the Editorial
department has been designing the
look of the page and filling i in news
and feature stories in the space
around the ads. Copies of these
page layouts are sent to Produc-
tion, along with photos, headlines,
and a list of the stories that are be-
ing used in that issue.

The stories are sent through

Production’s digital typesetter, the
film is processed and comes out in
long columns called ‘“‘galleys.”
The galleys are then cut up and
pasted on to the correct page,
under the correct headline, accord-
ing to the editorial page layout.

Photocopies of the completed
page are sent up to the Editorial
department, whose proofreader
checks it for spelling, continuity

33-MONTH MORTGAGE*

Prenor Trust's new 33-month closed mortgage
means a lot of good things. And one bad thing. If
your neighbors find out about the low rate you're
paying, they just might not talk to you anymore.

Our homeowner mortgages are designed to
help you pay off your biggest investment in a way
that is best for you. You can pay off 15% of the
principal once a year. Or perhaps you'd like to
increase your mortgage payment by 15% at any one
time during each vear of your mortgage. Either way,
there’s no prepayment bonus or other cost to you.

In addition, you can use our Portable Mortgage
Option to transfer your existing loan balance for the
remaining term to your new home. In fact, ifthe
purchaser wants lo assume your existing mortgage,
it could actually help you sell your home faster.

So come to Prenor Trust and take advantage of
this preat-rate mortgage opportunity. Just remember
not to tell your neighbors.
