Description

Outlining the work of the Press Association in London as it uses its network of reporters and journalists throughout the country to feed news to the local and national media. The film explains how the PA is able to cover sporting and royal events, political demonstrations and lighter news items. Reporters are seen inside Scotland Yard and the Law Courts before the film looks at how stories are prepared and transmitted from the PA's headquarters in Fleet Street.
