{"footnote":"\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cem\u003ELRB\u003C\/em\u003E has an indirect connection to Monotype. In the late 1970s hot-metal typesetting was replaced by cold-metal typesetting, which doesn\u0026rsquo;t sound all that different but meant photographic and computerised systems \u0026ndash; no typesetters and fewer operators required. The National Graphical Association managed to convince some newspapers to accept \u0026lsquo;double-key stroking\u0026rsquo; to prevent typesetters being cut out of the new process. The aim was: no journalist near a computer keyboard. But this couldn\u0026rsquo;t last for very long, or at least not for those reasons (the \u003Cem\u003ELRB\u003C\/em\u003E still relies on typesetters, because we largely edit by hand). The printers\u0026rsquo; strike at the \u003Cem\u003ETimes\u003C\/em\u003E in 1978 closed the \u003Cem\u003ETLS \u003C\/em\u003Etemporarily, creating an opportunity for a new literary review. Here we are.\u003C\/p\u003E\n","audio":[],"video":[]}
