Editorial Troubles and the Detroit Free Press Sanctum
A quirky look at editorial life in a Detroit Free Press room description. Writers toil in silent upper floors turning thoughts into clockwork articles while editors handle corrections and phantom voices from spirits. The piece sketches a bustling if surreal scene of staff, maps, police suspicions, and a marble frontage on Michigan Avenue.
