es have sprung up since 1920. The legal system governing agency operation and the problem of the ownership of news are studied in Chapter II. Chapter III contains reports, as accurate as possible, on the various telegraphic agencies which gather and distribute news in all parts of the world. Chapters IV and V study the relationship between telecommunications and telegraphic news agencies. The development of telecommunications at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century decisively influenced the growth of news agencies; it is therefore necessary to trace the history of telecommunications, to mention the various international agreements governing them, and to refer to their international organization, in so far as these matters affected the news agencies. Chapter VI is devoted to an examination of the use made of news by broadcasting stations and their relations with news agencies. Lastly, Chapter VII studies the most important question of all-how the general public in each country gets its news." (Introduction, page 10)
