Press Telegrams.
PRESS TELEGRAMS may contain only information of general public interest and the whole text must be intended for publication as news in the newspapers to which the telegrams are addressed. Advertisements, letters intended for publication in the open or other columns of newspapers, or telegrams that are mere “puffs” of theatrical or travelling business companies, and not of general public interest, cannot be transmitted at Press rates.
Provided the offices are open, all newspapers are entitled to receive Press news at night at evening rates, no matter whether sent in the evening prior to publication or not. The evening rates on day telegrams for evening papers are restricted to the day of publication, unless otherwise ordered.
The following rates are chargeable for the transmission of Press telegrams from or to any office in New Zealand during the prescribed hours for such business. (See “List of Telegraph-offices,” also table of “Additional Attendance for Press Work,” in the Post and Telegraph Guide.)
