-30- (1959) (Deadline Midnight) Jack Webb, William Conrad, David Nelson, Louise Lorimer, Nancy Valentine

A managing editor of a LA newspaper must put together headlines for the next day in a way that’ll attract the potential readers, deal with hectic going-ons at the workplace and have a serious talk with his wife about her wish to adopt. *“-30-“ is used to signify “the end“ or “over and out“. It originates from several code tables for telegraph operators, but is traditional in the journalism field and is still used to indicate the end of transmitted news stories and press releases and can frequently be found in formal corporate documents posted on websites and delivered electronically or via print.
