The title of the work is “AP— The Story of News” and in dra- matic sweep it recounts for the first time the actual, first-hand exper- ences of a procession of reporters from the bes g of news gath- ering the rise of the present- ted Press as the world’s cldest and largest news associa- tion, of which The Empire is a member. r Gramling, a nce he obtained his -a-week reporter at He was assisted by The author is Oliv! nawspaperman ngten staff of The / The illustrations Barrow, whose edit toons appear daily in scores of pa- pers over the country News Gaihering The story begins with the origin of <ystematic news gathering in Bos- ten harber in 1811, Omincus events n2 the destiny of the re- United States. The War of 1812 was in the offing, yet the| peeple had no way of obtaining fresh new Neither the tel h, the wirs ner the telephone had been invented. and public informa- tion traveied only by word of mouth. The tavern or the coffee house, than the sc-called newspa-| pers of the day. was the best place to find cut what was going on, and Besten was the trading center of the New World. Gees Out in Row Boat Into this setting appeared a young Bostonian, Samuel Toplitf, who went into the harbor by rowboat to ob- tain news from the inceming schoen- ers. He gathered what informa- ticn he could wheedle from the mer- chantmen of the world and record- ed in in a news book at Boston's famed Exchange Coffee House, where merchants and patrons came te read. This enterprise marked the real beginning of news gathering and out of Topliff’'s efforts came the newspaper practice of obtaining and printing daily news. Organizing A. P. | st phase of “AP—The Story | * deals with these pioneer-} ing efforts, the battles between com- | peting news men, and the eventual| founding of the first news gather- | ing association — The Associated | Press—in 1848. From that meager beginning the practice cf gathering news grew until The AP, as it is| familiarly known today, spends 511.4‘ 000,000 annually to obtain the in- telligence of the world for the news- papers it serves. It is from this scurce that The Empire receives the bulk of the world news which it pub- lishes for its thousands of readers.
