Well, these days (I think) typesetters are pretty much redundant, at least in journalism, since reporters these days set their own copy, and the editors edit it on computers. There was always some enmity, some tension, between the creative types, the graphic artists and the art directors, and the tech types, the typesetters and the cameramen and strippers. The art types had an artistic vision of what they wanted, and the tech types always used to tell them they couldn't have it, partly because it was true (sometimes) and partly because they were lazy and unimaginative. I was a tech type, I won't bore you with the details, but it paid good ($18/hr 20 years ago). But I had sympathy for the creative types because my former boyfriend and I had a publishing house of our own, nothing much, but a lot of fun. So I tried to give the creative types what they wanted. I had a good reputation. Now, I think it is all done with computers. My old boyfriend no longer has a publishing house, he teaches computer stuff with reference to printing in a trade school, and he tells me that I did the right thing getting out of it.
