The Law

The Law says:
This is an amazing story of how a seemingly innocuous detail of the business model of one of the most important TV news wire services seems to corrupt their entire output.

Extract:The way in which raw footage such as APTN's is compiled into news reports and sent around the world has also been analyzed. The Second Draft gives a comprehensive view of how editing can make all the difference. APTN is the gatekeeper that sits between you and the actual event. You will never see what the editors at APTN see before they compile your evening news. What do you think is cut out?
