“I Have It Right Here…”

This is an actual desk, in an actual newsroom, worked at each day by a highly productive journalist. Health & Safety issues became a concern to management, and an excavation was ordered. The anonymous journalist allowed me to photograph his ’system’ before it was deconstructed and cleaned by a brave (albeit rubber-gloved) editorial assistant.

When we got there, it was no different to how it had been left by the last shift, all of it looking a bit like your picture. I thought computers had tidied newsrooms up – obviously not much has changed.
