The film begins with scenes in a newspaper office and then shows the varied lives of newspaper reporters. Then it takes up the processes of editing, setting up, and print- ing the paper. Next the film discusses the women's de- partments, and then it outlines one by one the departments of sports, finance, society, critical writing, columnists, edi- torial writers, political writers, and feature writers. A short sequence tells of the work of the country newspaper editor, who must be somewhat of a jack-of-all-trades. Finally, the film analyzes general abil- ities needed for newspaper work in all branches. A good film; effective in doing the work for which it was intended. . . The film is of excellent technical quality." Georgia "An excellent film on vocational guidance for students of high school and college ages. Should be very valuable for those who wish to enter journalism."
