The Press Association is the premier news-gathering agency in the UK, and this book is the history of this outstanding organisation. But it is much more than merely the history of an organisation that has established itself as one of the most successful independent news agencies in the world.

The PA has become a mirror of the society it has covered since its inception in 1868, and its record of political, sporting and social life since that time is a fascinating documentary account of the changing nature of Britain as it developed as a nation.

This process has been overshadowed in the last twenty years or so as startling technological developments have ensured the PA is always a market leader in its field, with innovations such as the Internet's first "virtual newsreader", Annanova, to its credit. The book tells the story of the people who founded the PA when the telegraph companies were privatised.
