Planning the day, The Athenaeum, Chautauqua, New York, 2015

The Chautauquan Daily is the official newspaper of the Chautauqua Institution. The newspaper began in 1876, two years after Chautauqua’s founding. It has continuously served Chautauqua with information about each day’s events. College interns work as its reporters, photographers, editors and designers, along with freelancers and retired journalists. Chautauqua attendees find the paper an essential guide to the vast range of events offered every day during the season. The participants in this photograph are literally burying themselves in the paper as they plan their day.

You are so right, Iris. The broadsheet newspaper is an endangered species. However at Chautauqua, this daily newspaper is in no danger of fading away because Chautauqua is all about tradition and history. This newspaper will never fail, because it so economically produced and distributed, with many staff members working as part timers or volunteers. I loved the way these people immersed themselves in newsprint. My image tells us that they are devouring the news of the day, while the news of the day simultaneously devours them.

Like books, printed newspapers, too, are fading from the scene. It's nice seeing these women so immersed in this activity
