The denizens of Ankh-Morpork fancy they've seen just about everything. But then comes the Ankh-Morpork Times, struggling scribe William de Worde's upper-crust, newsletter turned Discworld's first paper of record.An ethical joulnalist, de Worde has a proclivity for investigating stories -- a nasty habit that soon creates powerful enemies eager to stop his presses. And what better way than to start the Inquirer, a titillating (well, what else would it be?) tabloid that conveniently interchanges what's real for what sells.But de Worde's got an inside line on the hot story concerning Ankh-Morpork's leading patrician Lord Vetinari. The facts say Vetinari is guilty. But as William de Worde learns, facts don't always tell the whole story. There's that pesky little thing called the truth ...

I don't know what it is, but the Industrial Revolution books just don't seem engaging to me.
In which printing and newspapers come to the Discworld. Near the beginning, I laughed out loud several times, but it gets more serious as it goes on, which I think is rather a pity. Quite a good variety of characters, and I like Otto the vampire photographer. Mr Tulip, a thug with a talent for art appreciation, strikes me as rather implausible, but perhaps that's a strange comment to make about a Discworld character.
