The short story “Grey Noise” (“Ruido gris”) by Pepe Rojo was published for the first time in 1998. It won the Mexican “Kalpa” prize as the best science fiction story.

In a future where journalists can have a camera implanted in their eyes, they’re constantly looking for events that can make the news. The more dramatic the events the greater the audience so journalists have to try to get as close as possible to the places where they occur because that’s what the public wants. This can be dangerous even in unforeseen ways.
