At 1am the newsroom is quiet, lit mostly by screens. But the news never stops, and neither does the small team of editors who work through the night.
They monitor wires, verify videos from distant time zones and decide, often within minutes, what the world wakes up to.
The art of the overnight call
“The hardest part is deciding what not to publish,” says one senior editor, who has worked nights for eleven years. “Speed matters, but being right matters more.”
As dawn breaks and the day team arrives, the night shift hands over — tired, but proud of a job few readers ever see.
