NOT A NEWS LETTER
Sir.-For some time I have noticed a BBC talk announced for Friday nights by Sir Frederick Whyte entitled "London News Letter," but until recently I have never been able to listen in at that time. The first time I did hear him, however, he gave an interesting talk of the type that is usually entitled "Britain Speaks," that is, comment on the war situation. So I tried him once or twice since, and although he is still scheduled as "London News Letter," he still gives a talk of exactly the same type as plenty of other BBC speakers. Is the fault yours or that of the BBC? I might say that the one type of journalism that has been developed to the highest degree in England, is the London news letter which appears in practically all the provincial papers, intimate, informal, and above all, "newsy" with the doings of the folk of London town. Thers must be hundreds of capable writers of London news letters, and now if ever we want to hear about London folk. Sir Frederick Whyte has taken the title
but delivered different goods.-
