Under Mr. Baldwin's wise guidance a settlement has been reached
between the British Broadcasting Corpora- tion and the representatives of the newspapers and the master .printers who objected to the publication of the new B.B.C. weekly journal The Listener. The B.B.C. has undertaken to. recognize and deal with a committee representing the newspaper and printing interests, and to consider the Committee's objections to any publica- tions. The B.B.C. states that The Listener will- not contain more than 10 per cent. of original contributed matter not related to • broadcasting. The rest of the paper will consist of " talks ". which have been broadcast and comments thereon, of articles on the wireless- pro- grammes, and of B.B.C. news generally. The B.B.C. has no intention of publishing any further daily or weekly newspaper or of publishing books or pamphlets which are not pertinent to broadcasting. Finally, the B.B.C. promises not to accept more advertisements for The' Listener than are necessary for making ,good the expenditure on its production.
