In order to dispatch a newspaper (which may contain still or moving pictures or voice) to subscriber households through satellite communication, a newspaper edit/dispatch system (1) in the head office of a newspaper publishing company electronically creates and transmits data to the branch offices through a communication satellite (7). In a newspaper edit/broadcast system (2) at each branch office, the received newspaper data and local news are combined and edited, then encrypted, and the sort of newspaper and the date added to the encrypted newspaper data which is broadcast via satellite (7). In each of home terminals (5) installed in the individual subscriber households, or at newsdealers (3) and (4) the newspaper data are received and decrypted by a key obtained beforehand, and the newspaper data which agree with preset subscription contents are temporarily stored, e.g. on disc. Thereafter, the stored newspaper data are read and displayed e.g. on a portable terminal in compliance with a subscriber's request, or sold by newsdealers. Error correction may be provided. Spectacle type displays and dictionary embodiments are described. Urgent alarms may be broadcast. <IMAGE> |
