Through a humorous and satirical lens, it paints a picture of the challenges, quirks, and oddities found within the trade. The opening of thework introduces the theme of respectability in journalism, contrasting past and present practices. It begins with a story about an auction of wine, drawing a parallel between the odd assortment of wine lots and the collection of varied journalistic experiences to follow.
