Hard Headlines is a game in which trainee reporter Louis has been left on his own as he tries to make sure your favourite paper hits the streets on time.
It is your job to try to get him to deal with the never-ending demands in the newsroom from writing stories to answering the phone and checking the printer.

The game was devised especially for The News by Neil Dansey and Geoffrey Samuels, both students from Portsmouth University.
They are members of the university's Department of Creative Technologies, and are in the third year of a degree in Computer Games Technology, and Neil runs his own software producers, Determined Software.
He said: 'Hard Headlines is a newsroom-related panic game. Louis is tired and thirsty, his work is piling up and worst of all his dinner is getting cold.
'The longer Louis holds it together, the more you score.'
