Screamsheet

Screamsheet is type of newspaper.

To stay competitive with television, most newspapers now use Fax technology and holo–digital technology. Pages are rendered on computer, then translated into digital code. This code is transmitted to hundreds of Data Terms across the area, which produce the paper on demand using a high–speed printer (using high speed xerography). The result is a slick, flimsy newspaper known in street slang as a screamsheet.

Screamsheets have many advantages over previous newspapers. You can dial the Data Term to print only the sections of the paper you want, paying 0.1eb per page printed. New editions can be compiled in hours, allowing the public to keep abreast of a story even as it happens (although most scream sheets are updated at 6:00 am, 12:00 pm, 5:00 pm, and 10:00 pm).

In Time of the Red screamsheets can also be downloaded onto a personal Agent and read entirely on screen or via holo.
