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 publica-
tion, unless otherwise ordered.
The tariff for ordinary telegrams is applicable to and will be collected from the
addressee of every Press telegram of which use is made for some other purpose than
or besides that of insertion in the columns of the newspaper to which it is addressed,
viz. :—
(a.) Telegrams which are not published by the receiving newspaper (failing a
satisfactory explanation), or which the latter has communicated before pub-
lication to private individuals, or to establishments such as clubs, cafés,
hotels, exchanges, &c.
(b.) Telegrams which the receiving newspaper before publishing them itself
has sold, distributed, or communicated to another newspaper for pub-
lication in its columns.
(c.) Telegrams, addressed to agencies, which are not published in a newspaper
(failing a satisfactory explanation), or which are communicated to third
persons before being published by the Press.
