Description

Film made for the centenary of the Manchester Evening News, looking at how the newspaper is produced from the start of the day up until its arrival in people's homes in the evening. Covers all aspects of the process - reporters following up stories, editorial staff, art department, telesales department, library and typesetters and printers. The film ends with the day's paper being sent out, and a man reading it at home with his family.

This film, along with thousands of others from across the country, can also be viewed online as part of BFI: Britain on Film - player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-film/
