' Gentlemen of the Press '
Tonight's broadcast in the series that is telling listeners the interesting story of the modern newspaper is rather different from those that have gone before. In previous broadcasts various well-known pressmen have come alone to the microphone to talk about their jobs.
Tonight will see a whole company of journalists assembled in the studio in a kind of Fleet Street edition of 'The World Goes By' with F. H. Grisewood acting as compere. The company will include a sub-editor, a leader writer, a compositor, a press photographer, and a circulation manager ; each of these will give a brief account of his daily, or nightly, job and discuss its trials, its humours, and its particular interest.
