It was a cool March afternoon when Torrance Cub Scout Pack 851 came to visit the Easy Reader office in Hermosa Beach. While at the office, the pack learned the five different departments that work together to get a newspaper out on time. The departments are: Sales, Production, Editorial, Circulation and Accounting. The scouts also learned that newspaper articles should answer five questions: Who, What, Where, When and Why. Despite all the fascinating aspects of a weekly newspaper that the pack learned about, the best part of the tour was the surfing cookie jar filled with cookies. Everyone left the office full of new knowledge and an appreciation for newspaper publishers who like cookies and surfing.
