Well, I was barking up the wrong tree, but I finally found the quote I was
looking for. Apparently, it wasn't Beaverbrook at all, but Alfred
Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe, proprietor of The Times.

"News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress. All the rest is
advertising."

Martin Mayer, Making News (Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc.,
1987) p. 9. from Harold Evans, Good Times, Bad Times (New York: Atheneum,
1983) p. 10.

Thanks to all who replied.

Thanks to those who responded to my query about the enigmatic Pound
parody of a Yeats epitaph: the original is traceable after all and
in print in _Pavannes and Divagations_, published by New Directions,
1975, but we had to look far and wide for this reference.
