PAPERS OF THE FUTURE
LONDON, August 19
Mr Robert Donald, editor of the Daily Chronicle, addressed the Journalists’ Conference at York. He predicted that the papers of the future would be smaller and contain less reading matter. Airships would be used for distributing them, and the morning and evening papers would be merged. Editors would be on duty and engaged . for every hour of the day and night. The - news would be collected by wireless telephones, and the average reporter would always have a portable telephone with him, and so communicate direct with his office without writing out his “ copy,” which would be delivered to the sub-editor printed in column form.
