BROADCASTS OF NEWS
STATE CONTROL URGED OTAGO LABOUR VIEWS (Special to the Herald.) DUNEDIN, this day. A suggestion that the Government should provide an internal and overseas news. service for radio listeners is advanced by the Otago Labour Representation Committee.
At the meeting of the committee last night the following resolution was adopted: "That the Otago Labour Representation Committee, recognising the danger of the press gaining control of broadcasting as is the case in Australia, endorses the Government’s policy of placing the broadcasting services of the Dominion under the control of the State to be operated as a State undertaking, and we urge that, with a view to effecting an improvement in the present service to listeners, the Government should immediately plan for the setting up of an internal and overseas news service.”
