Star Tribune Tour

Join IISE Chapter 38 for a tour of Star Tribune's newspaper production plant on Thursday, April 6th at 3:30 pm! Star Tribune is the largest newspaper in the region, and it is Minnesota's #1 local source for news, information, and community events. Star Tribune's origins date back to 1867 when the Minneapolis Tribune was founded. By the mid-1920's, Minneapolis had three papers publishing daily - the Minneapolis Tribune, the Minneapolis Journal, and the Minneapolis Star - which eventually all merged into today's Star Tribune. The company is excited to give us a tour of their printing facility, the Heritage Center, located right in Minneapolis!

The agenda for the afternoon will include a brief presentation and tour from 3:30-5 pmto see how newspapers move through the facility from when the paper enters the building, goes through the printing process, and leaves the building. Afterwards, there will be an optional social hour starting at around 5:30 pm at the Loop (address: 606 North Washington Avenue #100, Minneapolis, MN) located about 0.3 miles away from the Star Tribune Hertiage Center. Everyone is welcome to join us for the social hour even if you cannot attend the tour.

The cost of the event will be $10 for IISE Members and $15 for non-IISE Members. You can either pay at the door or via PayPal to IISE.TwinCities@gmail.com. Please arrive about 10 minutes before the tour starts and note that closed-toed shoes are required.

We look forward to seeing you there!
