The Thirsty Press

 

 "A thirsty press is essential in a free country" -- Judge T.S. Ellis
"The freedom of the press works in such a way that there is not much freedom from it." -- Grace Kelly

From ink to sound wave to film to video the medium by which we relay the news has morphed over the centuries. To explore these changes, we covered the gallery with newspapers from important news events, and set up a classic news desk installation.

This episode was Inspired by the journalists, the breaking news reporters, the photographers, the investigators, the anchors who live and breath a job that has keeps them in a constant state of desperation... of shall we say a thirst.
