LA Times for kids

The LA Times has a nice page for kids each day in the print newspaper. This week's feature has been about the LA Times and how the newspaper is produced. Interesting to me because my dad worked at a newspaper when I was young and I remember making some visits to the building where they printed the paper -- The Perth Amboy Evening News. I did a school report on typesetting and had some pieces of metal type to show.

One thing they don't mention on the LA Times kids page is the pay wall which hides most of the stories they publish:

Each separate Web page is tied to the main site for latimes.com, called the "home" page. It's like a table of contents for the whole website. All these pages are tied together and arranged so you can find every story in the paper. Then they are sent to a central computer, called a "server."

So maybe you can find every story in the paper the day it's published, but if you look for something next week you may not find it.
