York Evening Journal's news-gathering staff. This newspaper employs the
largest staff of men and women reporters, photographers, and news
writers of any evening newspaper in America. It pays the highest
salaries and this policy attracts the most capable and brilliant talent.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE REPORTS NEWS OF THE WORLD FOR EVENING JOURNAL
READERS
International News Service has firmly established itself as the dominant
press service in the afternoon newspaper field. Its news dispatches,
gathered from every corner of the universe, likewise are published in
newspapers throughout the civilized world. International News Service is
truly international in scope, linking the foremost nations in a
comprehensive news-gathering and news-distributing chain.
Approximately 60,000 miles of leased wire, used and controlled by
International News Service, distributes its news reports to the Evening
Journal alone in New York and to more than 500 other daily newspapers in
the United States. By cable and radio International News Service
dispatches are sent to sixteen foreign nations in both hemispheres.
Editors of the leading newspapers in Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Spain, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and
numerous other countries place the same reliance upon the International
News Service reports as do the editors of leading American afternoon
dailies.
International News Service is operated under the able General
Managership of Frank Mason, former chief of the Paris Bureau.
Collection and preparation of its news reports is in the hands of a
highly trained staff of editors and correspondents. This staff is
directed by Barry Faris, General News Manager, who has had more than a
dozen years' experience in press association work and knows thoroughly
every detail of the service.
George R. Holmes heads a large staff at Washington. Holmes, himself, is
an outstanding authority on news from the National capital, a keen
observer, a vivid writer. William K. Hutchinson, Kenneth Clark, George
Durno, Lawrence Sullivan and William S. Neal are members of the
Washington corps whose achievements have made them widely known to
newspaper editors and readers throughout the United States.
Copeland C. Burg, in Chicago, Ellis H. Martin in San Francisco and other
staff men in all the leading cities in the United States get the news
for International News Service and write it in individualistic style for
New York Evening Journal readers.
The International News Service Foreign Staff is a large one. Harry K.
Reynolds, Director of Foreign Service, with headquarters in New York,
was formerly Manager of the London bureau, and he knows intimately every
phase of the foreign service. Harry R. Flory, Manager in London;
Frederic K. Abbott, Manager in Paris, and Otto D. Tolischus, Manager in
Berlin, not only have done noteworthy work in covering the big news
stories themselves, but direct a network of correspondents in their
respective territories that literally covers the world for International
News Service. Edward L. Deuss in Moscow, Guglielmo Emanuel in Rome and
Harold Ballou in Madrid are capable members of the foreign staff who
know their fields thoroughly. Correspondents are maintained as well in
China, Japan, the Philippines, various South American countries and
elsewhere at strategic points for news coverage.
International News Service correspondents at home and abroad have only
one rule to guide them. That is to get the news and get it right.
Generally, as well, they get it FIRST for New York Evening Journal
readers.
