thirty-mile zone

thirty-mile zone is a collection of poems adapted from TMZ.com articles. TMZ is an exclusively digital space primarily using the internet to break their stories. Since its genesis in 2005 TMZ has dealt with criticism largely associated with its journalism tactics which have been called dangerous unsavory creepy obtrusive etc.. The heavy use of paparazzi makes this news program unique but also gives TMZ its negative low brow reputation. My goal was to take the ever changing feed of TMZ.com and make it permanent in a good ole fashion book with pages and all.
