The Business of International News by Motion Pictures

Emanuel Cohen

Sixteen Years ago a new industry was established in America—the dissemination of world news through the medium of motion pictures. The evolution of news recording has kept pace with the progress of civilization, for, in a large measure, such progress is dependent upon intercommunication between the different peoples of the world. From its lowly beginning of symbol carving in stone, through the hieroglyphic stage, the ancient papyrus, this business of news dissemination has in the last few years developed a new medium—the motion picture—so that not only can the people of one country be told of the activities and achievements of their fellow men in distant lands, but also they can actually see these activities and accomplishments.
