SCHEDULE.

RADIO TELEGRAMS ON NAVAL BUSINESS.

Messages on naval business from officers of His Majesty’s Navy for transmission by wireless from New Zealand radio-stations to warships or transports are accepted free of charge.

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. Such matter must be paid for at the rate of ½d. per word.

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, except in the case of papers published daily, twice weekly, or thrice weekly.

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 publication 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 publication 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.

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.”)
