Section of the Editors Private Office

phones connecting with other departments Of
the building and the outside world
Between the office of the cartoonist and that
Of the editors Of society news, is the library.
Transom windows looking towards Twenty first
street furnish light, while tables and arm chairs
are provided for those who seek information
or for visitors in waiting. Bookcases reaching
from the floor to- the ceiling are at the northern
and southern ends of the library room, tHese
containing books dealing with every phase of
life and containing vast stores of valuable and
necessary information This room, from a
standpoint of convenience, is appointed as com
letely as others described.
The editorial floor was arranged as it is pri-
marily for the purpose Of enabling The Age
Herald better to gather the news and distribute
it as early as possible. For this reason, those
who have to do with the gathering and editing
of the news, local, state and world, were
dropped down, as it were, in a lump, each de
partment and each individual in immediate con-
tact with the other. In addition, the floor is a
model of convenience and its attractive ar
rangement is a tribute to the craft of the de-
signers.
1t may prove of interest to The Age-Herald
reader to know just how piece Of news is
handled in the new Age Herald Building Of
course every news event offers different condi-
lions and has to be handled in its own way, but
the process is much the same in all cases.
For instance, during the afternoon there sud
denly arises rumor that there has been big
mine explosion at one Of the mining camps per-
haps 40 or so miles from Birmingham. It must
be verified quickly by telegraph, telephone or
sending reporters scurrying to the headquarters
of the company in this city. Suppose it develops
that the explosion was really disastrous and
that special train will leave for the scene with
in Is minutes. Reporters must be hustled to
that train without even time to get an extra
collar.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-06-09

The news editor must investigate to find
whether the telephone and telegraph facilities
at the mining camp are ample Usually he finds
that there is one telegraph operator who works
part Of the day and who would not know what
to do with press dispatch if he saw one. The
telegraph companies are urged to get good OPP
orators on that special train also to handle the
matter which will be filed by The Age erald's
staff men during the afternoon and evening.
The matter begins to arrive early in the even
ing. Some of it is in the form of kilograms.
Some Of it is telephoned, and men in the office
must be assigned to rewrite it and bring out
and ''play up Vhe most important features.
This is where The Age -Herald's exceptional
equipment comes into good play. Its special
telephone exchange with several trunk lines en-
ables several men to be taking matter over the
telephone at one time Along with handling the
extra news caused by big story during the
day the regular matter must be handled. The
two wires of the Associated Press and the two
other special wires keep this matter moving
and the copy is hurriedly prepared and goes up
to the Composing Room almost in a stream.
Perhaps distinguished jurist or some prom
inent Alabama man dies suddenly after II
o clock at night. This story must be handled
and all the facts given. One man is assigned to
get the immediate facts connected with the
death. Another goes into The Age-Herald Ii
brary, where the reference books are kept which
contain biographies of practically every man of
prominence in the state. He must work up his
part Of the story and the parts are turned into
the city editor. He dresses them up, writes the
headlines and hurries the copy up the chute to
the Composing Room.
Suppose there is a prominent visitor in the
city and banquet is being given in his honor
which continues until after midnight Report
ers must make lightning time in covering the
banquet with running story of the main fea-
lures. When it is over he hurries back to the
