Newspapers in Spain are seriously understaffed. The implications for the quality of journalism are clear. Stories are reported over the telephone or by watching television coverage. The writing tends to be hidebound, without a sense of a reporter's presence. A single editorial worker may be responsible for three or four stories per day, as well as page production. The practice of journalism –- reporting, writing, and editing -- gives way to feeding the production beast through "autopagination."
