10:21Now PlayingToday, HENI Talks is presented by Edwin Heathcote, architecture critic.
Newspapers are the flimsiest, most ephemeral of media; here today, gone tomorrow. By contrast, architecture is the most steadfast of all media. In the interwar period, reading a daily newspaper was one of the defining customs of British life. In a bid to cement their influence in the fabric of the city, press agencies commissioned lavish headquarters. Heathcote considers how the grand Art Deco buildings of Fleet Street reflected the aspirations of the industry.
The printed newspaper form may be going out of fashion, but the buildings which housed them have stood the test of time.
