Deadline arithmetic
You did the interview. Now you're doing it again.
Typing steals reporting time
Manually transcribing one hour of tape takes around four hours. That is time not spent on sources, verification, or the next story.
Misquotes are career damage
A quote pulled from memory or a rushed note is a correction waiting to happen. Every published line needs to trace back to the tape.
Deadlines do not negotiate
When the press conference ends an hour before filing, transcription speed decides whether your story lands first or last.
