This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast.

Although the direction is by no means as tight as it might be, a vintage Poverty Row "B" I thoroughly enjoyed was Breezy Eason's "Honor of the Press" (1932). Although it contains many of the familiar newspaper story ploys, including cub-reporter makes good and editor-publisher in a constant give-and-take conflict, the movie is an absolute must for both Rita La Roy and Dorothy Gulliver fans. Admittedly, Eddie Nugent is no more than adequate as a Junior Fairbanks impersonator, but Wheeler Oakman delivers in his meaty role as the publisher, Franklin Parker carries off the best scene in the movie as a keen photographer, while the lovely Vivian Fields (her first of only two movies) can be glimpsed as a come-on coat-check girl.
