rip-and-read news
Definition
- “Rip and read” is a slang phrase describing a radio station journalism practice that dates back to at least the 1940s. News agency stories, especially written for aural delivery over the air (most often those from Associated Press or United Press International), would arrive in the subscribing station's newsroom by means of a bulky teletype machine that printed the stories in purple type onto a continuing roll of light yellow paper.
