Tim Adams writes about an upcoming book by photojournalist Will Steacy, who documented the Philadelphia Inquirer's slide from a staff of about 700 to the current 210: "[There] are small gestures of defiance, the pinned up cuttings and cartoons that reflect on the consequences of a revolution of 'news' to 'content;' there are poignant observations of defeat, note-strewn reporters’ desks quietly become sanitised and paper-free in his pictures and then disappear entirely."
