The history of the great news gatherer, based on a swift survey of the progress of news gathering from the first recorders to the present war. How newspapers began- how news was collected and spread -- the beginning of competition -- the first efforts to combine for organized news service and the effect on news of the telegraph, the cable -- and the methods used by Bennett. Personalities -- human interest stories -world events and their effect on cooperative efforts and news.
