Papercuts by Colin Bateman

Comical newspaper-set multi-stranded story.
Amusing enough as I listened, it's one that won't really stick with me. Took a while to concentrate on the several characters as well, but that's the perennial problem with audiobooks.
At a failing newspaper, the Bangor Express, the owner brings in a professional journalist to see if he can find ways to improve things, even if it means cutting jobs.
We get to know several people who work at the paper, and through them some of their stories and attempts to prop up their livelihoods. It did blend a little for me in the middle as I tried to keep characters and stories separate.
Some interesting people, some intriguing stories. I've enjoyed other Bateman books more though, and I would say that this particular story would work better on paper.
