A few minutes after Congress declared war against Germany and Italy, WRUL in Boston, WGY in Schenectady, and BBC in London flashed the word to the occupied countries by short-wave radio. These powerful illegal radios rebroadcast the news to hundreds of mobile stations throughout the Continent. Special editions of newspapers, pamphlets, news sheets, letters, and slogans soon flooded the countryside. From the underground press the Allies obtain strategic information, military and civilian, that could not be obtained in any other way. As the war lengthens, as suffering increases, nationalistic differences are breaking down more and more into the realization that democracy, mutual aid, and cooperation are essentials for any future peaceful Europe. This is the basic principle of Europe's underground press.

This article presents information on the report of the Committee on Public Relations of the American Sociological Society as of February 1, 1942. The work of the Committee on Public Relations has continued during the past year, along the two lines it followed in 1940. This has consisted of interpreting each number of the periodical "American Sociological Review" as it appeared to appropriate representatives of the newspaper and magazine press, and of facilitating the press coverage of the Society's annual meetings. The Committee has continued to follow a broadly representative policy in handling of materials from the periodical "American Sociological Review" and the papers for meetings. To serve adequately the Society and its speakers, the Committee needs to be in a position to advise reporters that a given paper is too technical for popular interpretation; or to furnish reporters with several suitable paragraphs from the paper; or to supply reporters with a rather complete press review of the paper. The Committee does not want reporters to feel obliged to cover meetings themselves.

NEWSPAPER strikes ,LABOR movement ,LABOR unions ,FOREIGN correspondents ,REPORTERS & reporting - Abstract
Seattle has a way of making labor history. The third week in November saw not only the confiscation and later the return of the property of The Seattle Union Record, the mouthpiece of organized labor in that city, but produced as by-products several actions new in the history of unionism. The newspaper's plant was seized without warning by the United States Attorney, held throughout a week's time through various court delays, and at last returned on order of the court, which stated that it was illegally held. In the meantime, the labor movement of the city, which was obviously expected by the authorities to indicate its anger in some storm or upheaval, remained calm and sell-controlled, and began voting a day's pay per member for "a bigger, better Union Record." A new building, new presses, a Saturday magazine, foreign correspondents and a service which will help in starting a chain of labor papers across the country are in view. The labor movement of Seattle seems to be learning to turn attacks into opportunities.

The criticisms of the Conference are intelligent and reinforced by that rare quality in American editorial writers--a background of past history. The morning Sun's readers are treated to something else than a mere indiscriminate extolling of the achievements of the Conference.

The article focuses on relations between business and the press in the United States. Newspaper owners, publishers, and reporters, who are interested in the business community and civic leadership, will sometimes feature business events that are newsworthy. Although relationships between the press and business leaders often develop on the personal level, that does not mean a company will get free publicity or favorable coverage in a news story. Advertising is a newspaper's revenue source so publisher's have little interest in "free space" items. Topics include 12 newsworthy events compiled by Lawrence McCracken, the newspaper's editorial function, the duties and public responsibility of journalists, and advice for dealing with reporters.

The article discusses the characteristics and some aspects of a useless publication. Publication is useless when it neither informs nor entertains, when it solves no old problems or stimulates no new research, when it serves no reference function because the theme is trivial or the information is already present and accessible in the literature. However, the prime cause of useless publication depends on the authors. Also, the administrator contributes to useless publication because he measures the value of his employee not by his true worth as a teacher or as a researcher but through the number of titles published in a certain period.

The author comments on the science-versus-press controversy whereby scientists are conceived to be bad copy, inaccessible, unintelligible and uncooperative, or the press being thought to inaccurately sensationalize scientists and misinterpret their discoveries in the interest of a good story. He states that there are not supporting statistics for the accusation that the press is too often inaccurate and sensational. He says that publishers and editors agree that the press is not perfect, committing errors over and over again. Science writing is getting better and better every day in every way and the reporting of scientific discoveries is no longer the easy task as it was some years ago.

PUBLIC opinion ,HEADLINES ,AMERICAN newspapers ,REPORTERS & reporting - Abstract
This article attempts to analyze American public opinion on the Far East. According to the author's research, among American newspapers there is very little interest in news coming from the Far East. This situation accounts for the fact that the American press does not follow developments in the Far East as closely as those in Europe. There have been times, however, when three-inch headlines referring to events in the Far East have aroused a very considerable amount of interest in the U.S. During the Manchurian crisis of 1930-31, when the threat of a great Pacific war with the United States as a party was imminent, the American public necessarily became interested in what was going on. When the crisis downed and the situation became quiet again, the interest waned. Further the research indicates that apart from the general interest of the newspaper reading public there is the special interest of several political or professional groups whose knowledge is fed by special newspapers.

Everybody would have believed this if McKinley had never delivered or printed any orations; Internationally, the rubbish which some of the American papers allow their England correspondents to prepare for the American market is receiving another striking exemplification in the pretence that free trade in England is in some danger.

The article discusses the travails of a columnist. From the point of view of working newspapermen, maybe the author ought to qualify that word "working," since a columnist lives by peculiar hours. If he is employed on an afternoon paper he ought to be up out of bed and on the job by three in the afternoon. If he lingers longer than that he is just plain lazy. Writing his column takes from half an hour to an hour-depending on how many contributions he gets. After his work is done he gets ready for dinner and then he goes to a show and after that a night club perhaps- that's called gathering material and it's very arduous and every columnist has to do it whether he wants to or not.

The article discusses public press in America. News is the oxygen of democratic society, and the American form of government cannot long endure if the supply is impeded or allowed to suffer contamination. The concentration of control over the news has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished. The main instrument of that concentration is the Associated Press, the news agency with tentacles reaching around the world which for some fifty years has operated to restrict the flow of new blood into the news-paper business. Now this organization has been charged, in a complaint filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, with "combination and conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce in news, information, and intelligence among the several states."

The article reports on the emergence of science writing towards becoming a profession in the U.S. The growth of science writing has been spurred by the developments in medicine, nuclear physics, and space. Newspapers, magazines, and even radio and television are discovering, or rather rediscovering the interest of readers and listeners in the field of science. Whether scientists like it or not, the public gets its image of science, information about science, and its understanding of scientific concepts largely from these nonscientists, the science writers.

The article focuses on various methods of news reporting in China. To report the vast area of China, with nearly a quarter of the world's population, only a few correspondents of foreign news agencies and newspapers were regularly stationed there. The larger American news agencies, and a few American daily news-papers, stationed foreign correspondents in Shanghai, China, which became news center for all of continental Asia. When Sino-Japanese War broke out anew in July 1937, Americans had only a handful of correspondents in the Orient. Conditions of work of foreign correspondents in China and those in Europe are radically different. In China, the foreigner meets a strange language, which often remains a mystery to him for life. To get news to cable home, these correspondents are forced to tap the following poisoned springs of misinformation. Natives are employed to read, translate and digest the local China press.

The article presents a content analysis of newspaper coverage of the Trenton Six Case. The treatment of the case in a sample of newspapers is compared to discover the extent to which political considerations, racial interest and propinquity influenced reporting. Advances in the utilization of content analysis techniques may proceed in two ways. First, through the improvement of codification procedures, one may be able to strengthen reliability and draw on subtler and less tractable subject matter. A second kind of opportunity has been apparently less interesting to social scientists. This requires the selection of a situation of relative simplicity, the use of few and clear diagnostic items, and the directing of the analysis to the comparisons of sample units rather than to interpretation in depth. It should not be necessary to say that content analysis of whatever kind and however problem-oriented has severe limitations unless the content analyzed can be related on the one hand to audience perception, interpretation, and impact and on the other hand to the intent of the controllers of the medium.
