Radio and the News
THOSE good people who are forever * hearing this news and that announced “over the radio” and who seem to think that broadcasting stations are quicker than newspapers in gathering and giving news, may be interested in a despatch from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, states the Ottawa Journal. It tells of a judge signing a restraining order against a broadcasting company which had been using the news of the American Associated Press. The suit, the first, of its kind on record, was a test case to determine the legal right of a news gathering association to prevent the unauthorised use of its despatches by a broadcasting station.
Manv people appear to think that the radio lias news of its own. It hasn’t. All the news that radio broadcasts has been gathered by newspapers. is in newspaper .offices or newsnapers before the radio broadcasts it. In most cases it is news given to the radio by the newspapers.
