NEWSPAPERS FOR AFRICA
Editors Urged To Help
f N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) PARIS. May 14
The free world’s leading editors have been urged to help build up the staffs and skill of newspapers in the emerging nations of Africa. American Associated Press reported. The appeal came from Mr E. J. B. Rose, of Britain, the retiring director of the International Press Institute, to the initial session of the institute’s tenth anniversary assembly in Paris. Editors from more than 30 countries are attending the three-day assembly. Mr Rose told the editors that a six-week survey of the newspaper situation in Africa convinced him that this continent urgently needed the institute’s aid. He estimated that there were only about 500 journalists on the entire continent.
