I was looking at an intriguing double-page photograph in a broadsheet newspaper. Dating from the 1970s, it featured a tableau of an ‘American news desk editorial meeting’.

In the background a punch was being thrown and was landing on a chin, a secretary was throwing paper into the air, someone else was ‘kung fu fighting’, phones were being answered while cups of coffee were dropped onto the carpet. The clothes were amazing and the hair was big.

At the centre of the picture, two glamourous women were seemingly engaged in a normal conversation, apparently immune to the chaos around them. I couldn’t understand this image. Was it a true photograph from the 1970s, a clever work of art, or had it been created by Netflix to advertise a documentary?
