“I just think there’s doing things and doing things. And if you’re locked in a sewer and it’s flooding and you’re putting on perfume, you’re doing the wrong things”
Joe Edgar’s Big Cranberry is a witty and fast-moving story of personal crisis, set in the precarious world of climate journalism.
A Boston newsroom, late at night. Journalist Marianne is fine-tuning her latest article — a hit piece on the Massachusetts cranberry industry. But between interruptions from her colleagues and edits from her boss, a murkier, private picture begins to emerge of her time researching in the bogs…
At what point does reporting stop being enough? Where do you find hope in a career built on dread? And just how big is this cranberry exactly?
