This audio collage mixes printing press rhythms and spoken word with interview scraps that would usually be edited out of a journalistic radio segment, including material that draws attention to the technical and interpersonal machinations of reporting.

It's a behind-the-scenes view of journalism, which is a process of editing and selecting, rather than transmitting a complete record to the public.
