Introduction

In order to make ends meet, an obscure, struggling writer rewrites "bad news" that threatens social stability, including suicide waves, random killings, and official negligence, into "good news" that only generates positive responses. They are forced to struggle between conscience and dreams, original intentions and reality, fast-food baits and depth, maintaining stability and truth.
