Will Steacy
Photographer, writer and self-described fifth generation newspaper man Will Steacy has spent the past five years capturing the goings on in the Philadelphia Inquirer newsroom and printing plant. The series — titled "DEADLINE" — is complete, and Steacy wants to get the project published via a Kickstarter campaign. Right now, he's got $2,559 of his $15,000 goal and has until August 19th to drum up the rest.
For those of you who have been following the Inquirer through it's various stages of layoffs, buyouts and a 2012 relocation the series of photos will be of particular interest. However, even if you're not especially interested in the current status of a newspaper industry in flux, you can still appreciate the photos for the sake of photography's sake. Check out some of the shots here. Enjoy!
