Hold the front page: you can own this newspaper

Every morning the news comes in, and much of it is about you: turbines switched on, toasters mended, cars crushed. At the layout table, pick the biggest story for the top of the page, two more for down the side, and a headline. Readers love a good pun, and so does Edie Inkwell, who has edited the Gazette for fifty years and never missed a deadline.

Then off to the press room. The paper runs through four printing units, one for each ink, and every so often a colour drifts off line. Watch the registration scope and tap the colour that has wandered to nudge it back, or the whole edition comes out blurry. Your front page is on every copy that folds out onto the belt and into the bundles.

Last of all, the paper round. Out on your bike down a street of little houses, tap the green doorsteps as you ride past to throw them a paper. Right on the mat is a bullseye. The front page you made even turns up here, in the Gazette, the next time you visit.
