Data were gathered £rom a variety o£ sources , in- eluding history texts, contemporary biographies and auto- biographies and, in the main , £rom such trade publications as Editor & Pub lisher , Quill, The Matrix, Journalism Qu arterly, and news magazines , Time and Newsweek . Of particular value was a 1936 text , Ladies o£ the Press : The Hist ory of Women in Journalism By An Insider . iv Written by Ishb el Ross , the volu�eLis the sole definitive book written on the subj ect to date . Over 300 newswomen are identified in this survey , tracing their invo lvement in journalism from colonial days through the nineteenth century , then spotlighting their contributions as "stunt women ," 11 sob sisters" and 11tabloid heroines ," before going on to analyze their role as highly professional competitors within the news media of modern America . The study reveals that. women indeed have played a larger part in American newsgathering than many journalism texts have given them credit for . In addition , certain historical patterns are identified and described under various chapter headings . v - -----------�- :____________ ____ CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The Women 's Liberation Movement--born with the decade o£ the 1970's--surprised many Americans into taking a second look at the nation 's female population . At few times in history has the feminine role been so thoroughly scrutinized : Who is the American woman ? •••wh ere has she been and where do es she go from here? One of the places she 's been £or a long time is in the newspaper city room. Though her presence may not al - ways have been conspicuous to readers, the lady journalist has long labored behind the scenes, risking life and limb-- not to mention reputat ion--to provide the public with what it had ria right to know ." Since 1696, when the first colonial printer 's widow decided to carry on her husband 's trade , women have played a part in gathering and reporting the news . Yet, "journalism texts refer to women most o£- 1 ten in footnotes and only briefly in texts, 11 points out Il Marion Marzolf, journalism lecturer at the University o£ Ii Michigan . I L 1 2 Thousands of pages could be devoted to these news- r!wom en , chronicling everything from their dr ess to their .il courage, their individual writing styles to their politi- cal views . However , this study will concern itself pri- mar ily with simp ly identifying chronologically those women who achieved professional and/or public recognition as news reporters or editors in America during the period 1696 to 1972. It will att empt , too , to enlarge upon the little that can be gleaned from the footnotes of tradi - 1I tional texts and, to some extent , to interpret the roles j wh ich these women have played in the history of American ��� journalism. Since the period under investigation spans nearly I three centuries , two factors had to be dealt with at the outset . First, implicit in a survey of this scope is the exclusion of hundreds of women who , regardless of their contr ibutions to the field, did not receive "professional an d/or public recognition" and are therefore lost to record. Second, a decision was made to deliberately omit those women--wi th rare exceptions--who worked solely as columnists, social page, or "women 1 s page" editors and wr iters . Admi t.tedly , these women too have contributed to the nation s news media but for th e p rpos f his_ stu<:Iy , 1 u._ � o. _:t::_ . only those who worked 1n the competitive world of the "hard news" and "feature stories" of the front and near- front pages of American newspapers and magazines were included. Marion Mar zolf 's preliminary biblio graphy , "Women I in American Journalism," provides a useful tool 1n ana- J.yzing the available literature in this field. While the bibl iograp hy is by no means complete, it suggests some of the difficulties implicit in a survey of this type; specifically it points up the dearth of detail available on the vast majority of journalists in general.• Professor Marzolf lists 256 sources; of these, mo re than one-third are concerned solely with a handful of the few "well-knowns" in the field: Nellie Bly (6), Dorothy Dix (4), Mary Baker Eddy (4), Margaret Fuller (9), Marguerite Higgins (5), Sara Josepha Hale (6), Clare Booth Lu ce ( 3), El eanor "Cissy" Patterson ( 3) , Anne Royall ( 4) , Agnes Smedl ey ( 6), Gloria Steinem (3), Anna Louise Strong (12), Ida Tarbe l (4) , Dorothy Thompson (3) and Margaret f Bourke-White (9) . Of the remainder , another third also deal exclusively with individual personalities . The �ingle history of women in American journalism to dat e was written by Ishbel Ross in 1936. Entitled "Ladies of the Press : Th e Story of Women in Journalism By An Insider ," the volume 1s a masterful coll ection of anec­ dotes and a rich vein of informat ion about S. newswomen u. throu gh the early 193 0's. Miss Ross assemb led her mate­ rial s primarily throu gh personal acquaintance and corres­ pondence, thus the book gives heavy emphasis to East Coast news personalities active during the period 1900 to 1930. Research for this study was initiat ed by reviewing ·h istorical literature and trade publications to discover , insofar as this is possible, the names of those women who were working journalists during the study period. Besides those books listed in the bibliography, the following references were invaluable in "uncovering" possible candidates for this survey : Atlantic Monthly , . ··collier 's, Editor and Publisher , Harper's Magazine, Journalism Quarterly, Th e Matrix , McClure's Magazine , Newsweek, Saturday Evening Post, Time and microfilmed back issues of the New York Herald, Journal , Times, Tribune and World. Once this list of individuals was compiled, the career of each was traced exhaustively (frequently the biographies of male contemporaries yielded important clues ·to the women 's car eers ). Finally the material was or- . ganized historically in an effort to place these newswomen 5 r- 1 and thc1.r. activit ies into greater perspective . Wherever 1 poss ible, an alogies are drawn between women of different }l 1I eras .

The Daily Courant , printed on one side of a single sheet , was , according to its publ isher , "confin 'd to hal£ the Compass, to save the Pub lick at least hal£ the Imper - 2 ti.nences , of ordinary Newspapers." Though its publisher gu ided the infant paper just two weeks before handing it over to the excellent care of Samuel Buckley , she offered two policy statements to guide her successor: First, "at the beginning of each Article he will quote the Foreign.Paper from whence 'tis taken , that the Publick, seeing from what Country a piece of News comes with the Allowance of that Government , may be better 7 to Judge the Credibility and Fairness of the l�ela- ;d> te tion," and, second, nNpr will he take upon him to give any Comments or Conjectures of his own , but will relate on ly Matter of Fact ; supposing other People to have Sens e 3 enough to make Reflections for themselves ." The circumstances of Elizabeth Mallet 's propri- etorship of the Daily Courant are not known , however , if. the experience of her Am erican contemporaries is any in- Jication, it might be £air to assume that she was the widow or daughter of an Eng lish printer . The history of the newspaper, thus of journalism itself, is inextricably bound in America and elsewhere with the development of printing .

Copyright. 1974 @by the Minnesota Historical Society Library of Congress Catalog Number:74-10395 International Standard Book Number:O-87351-091-7 This pamphlet and the microfilm edition of the Alexander Ramsey Papers and Records which it describes were made possible by a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission to the Minnesota Historical Society. Introduction THE PAPERS AND OFFICIAL RECORDS of Alexander Ramsey are the sixth collection to be microfilmed by the Minnesota Historical Society under a grant of funds from the National Historical Publications Commission. They document the career of a man who may be charac­ terized as a 19th-century urban pioneer par excellence. Ramsey arrived in May, 1849, at the raw settlement of St. Paul in Minne­ sota Territory to assume his duties as its first territorial gov­ ernor. The 33-year-old Pennsylvanian took to the frontier his family, his education, and his political experience and built a good life there. Before he went to Minnesota, Ramsey had attended college for a time, taught school, studied law, and practiced his profession off and on for ten years. His political skills had been acquired in the Pennsylvania legislature and in the U.S. Congress, where he developed a subtlety and sophistication in politics that he used to lead the development of his adopted city and state. Ram­ sey1s papers and records reveal him as a down-to-earth, no-non­ sense man, serving with dignity throughout his career in the U.S.

While in Havana, he wrote columns about his observations of the war. His descriptions of Spanish atrocities aroused American sympathy for Cubans. A PERSONAL VOICE JAMES CREELMAN “ No man’s life, no man’s property is safe [in Cuba]. American citizens are imprisoned or slain without cause. American prop- erty is destroyed on all sides. Wounded soldiers can be found begging in the streets of Havana. The horrors of a barbarous struggle for the extermination of the native popula- tion are witnessed in all parts of the country. Blood on the roadsides, blood in the fields, blood on the doorsteps, blood, blood, blood! . Is there no nation wise enough, brave enough to aid this blood-smitten land?” —New York World, May 17, 1896 Newspapers during that period often exaggerated stories like Creelman’s to boost their sales as well as to provoke American intervention in Cuba.

    A New Factor in American Destiny: Visions of Porfirio Díaz and the Politics of “Logical Paternalism” JASON RUIZ Now, one president for twenty years. Some will say that this is not republican. Possibly not, but it is business. —Charles F. Lummis (1902) For an elderly foreign dictator, Porfirio Díaz was tremendously popular with American travelers and observers in the wake of the Spanish-American War. As the United States grappled with its growing power in the hemisphere, well-to-do Americans traveling in Mexico clamored to meet the President and Carmen, his sophisticated young wife.1 The presidential couple indulged a surprising number of meeting requests, and their lucky American guests described meeting Díaz with an almost palpable sense of awe. “As you wait in the anteroom to meet the president,” wrote one American supporter, “you are about to meet what is probably the greatest figure—as it is unquestionably the most romantic—in the world’s politics this half century . and before you know it you are seated vis-à-vis with the creator of a new factor in American destiny.”2 Those who could not secure a personal audience with “the foremost man of the American hemisphere” sent home postcards featuring official-looking photographs of the President or pasted cartes-de-visite in scrapbooks commemorating their journey to a “strange land near home,” as one primer for American schoolchildren called Mexico in 1902.3 Some Americans wrote travelogues crediting him with the amazing transformation of Mexico from a dangerous and unknown backwater into a country that closely resembled American prescriptions for a progressive, modern “sister republic.” Newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and New York Times called him a “hero of peace” or the “lion-hearted son” of Mexico.

This year’s theme is “Be a Star in Someone’s Life.” The “Kick-Off” is the launching point of the campaign, designed to motivate staff members to begin thinking about contributing to their favorite organizations, or to consider new charities that reach out and help others. A Navy Color Guard will open the event with pomp and presentation of the colors in a glitzy Hollywood setting, in keeping with the “be-a-star” theme. The Library has invited as a motivational speaker Tom Morris Jr., a segment producer for “America’s Most Wanted,” a FOX television network crime show.

  • The Ruth Atwood Black Collection of Alexander Black and Edith O'dell Black Collection #4
    THE RUTH ATWOOD BLACK COLLECTION OF ALEXANDER BLACK AND EDITH O'DELL BLACK COLLECTION #4 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection was presented to St. Lawrence University in July 1980 by Ruth Atwood Black, daughter-in-law of Alexander Black. Alexander Black was the originator of the "picture play," the fore-runner of the motion picture, and was the pioneer of the screen drama. This collection contains an original manuscript of one of these "picture plays" and other works by Black. Also contained in this collection are approximately 275 letters sent to Edith O'Dell Black and Pomeroy Burton of the New York World from around 1903 to 1944. The letters are by eminent journalists, educators and authors of the first third of the twentieth century and often contain lengthy responses to queries by the World editors. The collection also contains around 50 copies of Edith O'Dell's letters to her various correspondents; several autographed manuscripts, signed; and newspaper clippings (xerox copies) relating to the achievements of Edith O'Dell, Alexander Black and their contemporaries. St. Lawrence University does not own the literary rights to this collection. BIOGRAPHICAL Alexander Black was born in New York City on February 7, 1859. After a grammar school education he became a reporter for the Brooklyn (N.Y.) "Times" and later became the literary and art editor for that paper. Black became interested in photography early in his career and eventually became a leading authority on the camera. In 1886 he became the first president of the department of photography in the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Science.
