How this week was made

What we went through. The paper was written from 56 videos from 25 channels, 20 hours 37 minutes in all. Every one was transcribed.

What made the paper. 31 of them are cited in the paper. It has 85 quotes. Every quote was checked against the transcript of the video it comes from, and its footnote links to that video.

What the editor (still just me) did. Our system wrote a first draft of 2,521 words. I read all of it, checked every quote against its video, and thoroughly edited it. I cut 63 of its 102 lines, rewrote 10 and added 26 of my own. I also found and credited 6 pictures and placed 3 on the cover and pages. The paper as it stands is 1,865 words. An edition generally takes me about half a day.
