NEWSPAPERS OF THE FUTURE.
AN EDITOR'S PREDICTION. , By Telegraph—Prces Association—Copyright ("Times"—Sydney "Sun" Special Cables.) London, August 19. A Conference of Journalists has opened at York. Mr. Robert Donald, managing editor of tho "Daily Chronicle" and "Lloyd's Weekly News," addressing the' delegates at the inaugural sitting of the conference, predicted that the papers of the future would be smaller and contain less reading matter. Airsliips would be used for distributing the papers, and morning and 'evening papers would be merged. Editors would bo on duty every hour of the day and night, a,nd news would bo collocted by wireless telephones, a reporter always having a portable telephone with him to allow him to communicate with his office without writing, the message being delivered to tho sub-editor, to be printed in column form.
Mr. Donald's dream of the kinematograph partly displacing tho newspapers may possibly, it was agreed, come true. The Cinemacolour Company are displaying a fashion gazette, and the theatres are exhibiting their pictures showing the fashions of the moment.
