The old printing presses of the Oregonian
By: Anna Whitworth


On a crisp morning in March we walked down to the Oregonian on First Avenue in Portland Oregon. We were greeted with a warm welcome in the lobby and led upstairs to the Newsroom by reporter Eder Campuzano. When we walked in there were a sprinkle of reporters here and there but for the most part it wasn’t what I expected as a bustling newsroom. Sitting or standing at desks we saw the few reporters who were in the office, thinking and drafting new stories for our local paper.


Our thoughtful and insightful tour was led by education reporter Eder Campuzano. His job is to make sure we, as students have a voice in issues that we care about. Campuzano, who began his reporting career in high school in McMinnville, also wants to help explain things young people do to older people. He’ll act as the translator in way.

I learned a lot at the Oregonian and before wasn’t as interested in journalism but I now might be more. We learned a lot about how the paper actually gets published, from where it travels to get put together now, compared to how it was produced in the beginning. I loved seeing all the artifacts of the stories they covered, as well as the pictures they took hung on the walls. I liked learning about the history of the paper too; that was really interesting. I felt really lucky to be able to see a newsroom like that and it is definitely an experience that will inspire me and remind me of careers I could go into.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only

Photojournalism

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job

Frankie Lopez Profile By: Alexander Rozas When you picture a star soccer player’s life, you might imagine them attractive, popular and smart. However, soccer star Francisco Lopez was depressed, bullied and during his professional career was riddled with sports anxiety. Now he helps kids who are going through the same mental problems he did. Lopez remembers that the peak of his soccer career was in his senior year of high school where McMinnville High School made the finals. “Before that, not many people came to the games, but during the finals over 4,000 people came to support the team,” said Lopez. The game ended with McMinnville beating the powerhouse Jesuit 8-7 in a penalty shootout. It was a dream come true. “Winning the State Championship was the best feeling of my life and I haven’t been able to replicate that feeling or experience,” said Lopez. “It really brought the community together.” Lopez ended up bringing the trophy home with him and slept with
