The State Department and the News

Hanna, Paul | October 13, 1920 issue

The article presents information on U.S. state department's method in the matter of news. In behalf of the U.S. Federation of the press the author wrote a news story which more or less adequately described the spirit of the press interview, but did not violate the law governing that institution. The questions asked by reporters were set down and in each instance followed by: "Answer given, but suppressed by rules governing interviews," or some similar truthful phrase. So the Federated Press was in rebellion against rules.
