Section 03
The Newspaper
A real publication with a real print run. Five entries on the paper as a publication — chosen, argued over, costed, and printed in a run that leaves the room.
Plate 01. A numbered edition in quantity, leaving the room: that is what separates a paper from an exercise.

What a run costs
Paper, ink and time, counted against a classroom budget.
