(Not For Publication) Spanning the years from 1833 to 1865, the story depicts the struggles of Julius Reuter as a young man to establish his ‘“‘pigeon post’’ as an agency for the fast transmission of news between European centers not yet linked by the new telegraph. As the telegraph system expands, the use of carrier pigeons is doomed, and Reuter turns to the transmission of news by wire, his first “‘scoop”’ coming with the transmission of Louis Napoleon’s speech. Invaluable aide to him in his work is his wife Ida. who shows him early in his career that his moral obligations to the public must guide a news man above all else. Their love story is a tender one. As his wire service grows, competition develops in the Anglo-Irish Telegraph Company, is met successfully by Reuter, who again scoops the
world with the news of Abraham Lincoln’s death.
