The Birth of the News
Covering everything from major world events and exotic foreign travelogues to the pageantry of state occasions and gritty social issues, the company amassed a unique documentary record of 20th-century life. This series delves into British Pathe's amazing treasure trove of images, beginning with the work of the buccaneering cameramen behind Pathe's newsreels - men who witnessed pivotal moments in history and created many of the conventions of news programming that we still use today.
