Local Description

This volume contains the story of New Zealand's oldest metropolitan newspaper, The Press, which has been published for more than a hundred years. Produced to mark the centenary of the paper, May 25, 1961, it takes the reader back to the lusty days of the colonial journalism when a newspaper could (and often did) call a space a space, and poltical opponent an unprincipled rogue and a rival journalist anything it pleased.
