A history of the first university journalism course in Britain between 1919 and 1939, that gave groundings to some of the leading journalists and national newspaper editors from the 1920s until the millennium. The two year Diploma for Journalism course was run by the University of London and by the 1930s was situated at King's College within a stone's throw of Fleet Street. Many course graduates, guided by teaching pioneers Dr George Harrison, Joan Skipsey and Tom Clarke, became successful authors, including Leila Berg, Elizabeth Bowen, Elizabeth Ferrars, Stella Gibbons, Yvonne Kapp, Betty Miller, Penelope Mortimer, and Ruth Tomalin.
