NEWSPAPER WORK

Specialist. Cooper Tells
How Promotion Has
Resulted

Following Is the report made to the
Promotion Committee on the news
paper promotion work done since that
department was established:
Honolulu, Hawaii.
January 2S, 1909.
Mr.. II. p. Wood, Secretary the Ha-
wall Promotion, Committee:
Sir:-I beg to submit herewith
| some data showing the results of the
work of the Press News Bureau ,as
indicated by returns at hand embrace
ing the month OF December, 1908, as
| follows:
The only way we have for keeping
check on what we are accomplishing
through the Bureau is by the publ
cations which are sent MS by the pub
fishers, and through the clipping bu-
| reaus. From these two sources we
have clippings Of matter furnished
10y us, aggregating 954 column inches
CT space. There are 40 publications
which printed this matter, scattered
over 90 different States. None of
| these papers have Il circulation of
less than 1000, and most of them
have several times that amount. The
Albank On. " Journal, Toledo CO..
iilade, Richmond (Va) Dispatch,
Boston (Mass.) Herald, Columbus
| COD Journal, Pittsburg (Pa) Dis
patch and Omaha (NebD News. which
are among the papers which used
cur service last month, have CirCula-
tions ranging from 5000 to 2lO,-
200. over half of the 40 are credit
ed with circulations of 1000 or over,
from which It is to be seen that some
facts about Hawaii reached the
hands of very large number OF per-
sons.
BY examining the clippings from
\ which the above figures are prepar-
ed. and which accompany this report,
you will note that 400 inches are
from clipping bureaus, while 55i
inches have been taken from the
files of papers sent us by publishers.
| You will also note that the papers
| represented in the two lots are diff
ferent. This has been true to sur.
prising degree ever since this Bureau
started, and would indicate that the
| clipping service covers the field we
IreaCh very poorly. Although II Is
impossible to get more than small
per cent. of papers to carry US on
their mailing lists, the evidence from
the above indicates that we probably
learn of but low percentage of the
matter sent out that is really pub
| lished. r..
| would further point out that the
month of December Is scarcely rep
resentative month. inasmuch as news
papers everywhere sacrifice thelI
eadinE space to the heavy run o'
| Christmas advertising. ....h
| In the nine and half months that
| the News Bureau has been establish
ed. we have sent out 20 news sheets
or an average OF one in ten days. BE
sides we have distributed severa
thousand copies Of the Democratic
and Republican Territorial platforms
| furnished us by the central commit
tees of the two parties, as well a.
special matter to considerable
amount on request from various pub
locations. ...'
