History
In 1929, the Columbia Broadcasting System began to make regular radio news broadcasts on the newly-created Antillean state–five minute news broadcasts that covered various topics, including political developments in the American mainland from the American Press, one of three wire services that supplied newspapers with national and international news. In December 1930, CBS president and chief Mike O'Donnell hired journalist Paul White to serve as CBS News' chief editor who would later gain significant attention and acclaim for his news coverage during the Great War, even during strategic bombing runs by the Continental Air Force from the United Commonwealth. Paley would put the radio's news coverage on the same level as entertainment and authorized White to interrupt the programming if desired to. Along with other networks, CBS would invest in the breaking news which would be used for the first time in 1932 after the Antilles formally declared war against the Landonist International and its alignment with the Entente Imperiale, signifying the country's entry into the global war.
All of the early employees, contributors, news hosts and other personnel were all American exiles who fled the mainland at the end of the Continental Revolutionary War in 1921 during the Great Retreat. As such, CBS News would be invested in covering developments and current events in the newly formed Continental States including broadcasting the names and fates of all people who were tried in the Federalist trials by the Continental government as part of post-revolution justice. Starting in 1935, CBS News began doing international coverage starting with the FIrst World War and would send Edward R. Morrow to London to cover the British war effort against Germany and the Triple Alliance.
