De Worde and the dwarves establish The Ankh-Morpork Times later employing Sacharissa Cripslock and Otto, a black-ribbon vampire and iconographer. This arrangement is soon undermined by the arrival of a team of dwarves to Ankh-Morpork who intend to start a printing business using moveable type, a technology hitherto outlawed in the city due in part to the unpredictable consequences of its use in producing magical texts (although the dwarves' reasonable rates and promise of an annual dinner mollify the wizards at Unseen University). William de Worde is the black sheep of an influential Ankh-Morpork family, scraping out a humble lifestyle as a common scribe and making extra pocket money by producing a gossipy newsletter for foreign notables. The Ankh-Morpork City Watch characters also appear in this novel, but have limited roles and are seen mainly from de Worde's perspective. The two investigate the charges of embezzlement and attempted murder against Havelock Vetinari, and help vindicate him. The book features the coming of movable type to Ankh-Morpork, and the founding of the Discworld's first newspaper by William de Worde, as he invents investigative journalism with the help of his reporter Sacharissa Cripslock.

But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd.
And on Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities where there's never enough time.
