In the morning, accompanied by Pattaya Mail’s
graphics personnel, the students went to see the print shop where the Pattaya
Mail, Pattaya Blatt, and Chiangmai Mail newspapers are produced, and got
a chance to see the printing procedure and hold a question and answer
session.
Later students were guided through each department of the
Pattaya Mail offices on Pattaya Second Road. The visitors went
through all the departments including reception, delivery, the pressroom,
translation section, accounting and graphics design.
Afterwards the students toured the Pattaya Mail
Television or PMTV department, recording room and had the opportunity to see
the taping process.
The group was then taken to Alibaba Indian Restaurant to
have lunch with Pattaya Mail staff.
Professor Prasit said it was good that the students were given the
opportunity to see and feel the hands-on process of newspaper publishing. He
added that the knowledge gained during the visit would help them to
understand a real working atmosphere and broaden their scope in the
Commercial and Industrial sectors.
