Feb 14, 2023, 01:03 PM
"Today, a newspaper pressing print in Alexandria is a rare and unique kind of labour, representing a glimpse into the rich history of printing in Egypt and the city of Alexandria.
"At a press print, you may hear the sound of the presses running and the sound of paper being fed through the machines. Depending on the type of press, you might hear the whirring of electric motors or the clanking of gears. There may also be the sound of ink being distributed onto the paper, which can vary depending on the type of press. Additionally, you may hear the sound of people talking or shouting as they work. The sound of the presses running is often a constant hum in the background."
