  • DON WRIGHT BIOGRAPHY Winning a Pulitzer
    DON WRIGHT BIOGRAPHY Winning a Pulitzer Prize is the pinnacle of most journalistic careers. Don Wright, editorial cartoonist, has two of them (1966-1980), in addition to scores of other awards. Combining “a rare intelligence and a sense of moral outrage,” said one newspaper, Wright “uses his space with crystalline precision, capturing in a single frame the essence of a half-dozen windy op-ed articles.” His cartoons are on permanent display at Syracuse University and he has mounted several one-man art shows across the country. He began his career with the Miami News and has been at the Palm Beach Post since 1989. “Don Wright is unpredictable, not compartmentalized, free-spirited – beyond simple or traditional categorization,” as one writer put it. “And that is a trait of genius.” SUMMARY Julian Pleasants interviewed Don Wright on December 12, 2001 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Mr. Wright begins his interview by recalling his early experience in newspapers straight out of high school. Originally a photographer and graphics editor, Mr. Wright recounts how Bill Baggs of the Miami News pushed him into trying editorial cartooning. Mr. Wright also comments on being syndicated and how he feels about the numerous awards that he has garnered throughout his career. He also discusses his daily work process, the characteristics of a good cartoonist, and how newspaper competition with FNP 59 Wright Page 2 television has altered the profession. He concludes with thoughts about the future for himself personally and for editorial cartoonists in general. P: Give me a little bit of your background, mainly your newspaper background.

  • Micjcxilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microRlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will fînd a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

    FNP 59 Interviewee: Donald C. Wright Interviewer: Julian Pleasants Date: December 12, 2001 P: This is December 12, 2001. I am at West Palm Beach at the Palm Beach Post and I am speaking with Don Wright. Give me a little bit of your background, mainly your newspaper background. How did you get started in newspapers? Why did you get started in newspapers? W: I jumped right into the newspaper business after high school, as a matter of fact. I didn’t go to college. What I wanted to do, initially, more than anything else, was to become a cartoonist. I wanted to do a comic strip along the lines of, or similar to Steve Canyon, which was very popular at that time. I was told by my high school art teacher that the way to find out all of the things you had to do in order to become a strip cartoonist was go to work for a newspaper. So I applied at The Miami News to a woman named Myrtle Rathner, who was secretary to the editor of the paper, who liked me and made sure that when the stack of applications for copy boy were offered up, my name was at the top of the list. I got the job. That’s basically how I started in newspapers–as a copy kid at The Miami News, way back in 1952. P: Then you worked your way up, I presume, to be a staff photographer? W: Yes, I was lucky enough to be offered a job in the photo department as an apprentice and I took it from there.

    The Old RadioTimes The Official Publication of the Old-Time Radio Researchers May/June 2011 www.otrr.org 2200 Subscribers Number 55 DUFFY’S TAVERN: YEAR ONE by Martin Grams,Jr. ©2011 Early radio broadcasting required fine-tuning Ed Gardner -- and not the kind that came from dial twitching. Case in point: June 26, 1931. NBC presented “The Fearful Seven,” the tale of Merton Moth and his noiseless glider, Michael Mosquito -- brief glimpses into the home lives of Fanny Fly, Frankie Flea, Grand Roach and their friends. The NBC offering was promised to be a comedy, and ensured newspaper columnists that the comedy element would predominate the produc- tion. There was nothing funny with the story, and radio, had it not already established itself as a medium of music, news, prayer and commen- tary, might have been doomed as a result of dis- astrous broadcasts such as this. If radio audiences wanted authentic laughter from a weekly, half-hour program, what they needed was Ed Gardner. It would not be until ten years Photo credit Dan Reidstra later that Duffy’s Tavern would usher in a new daughter, known simply as Miss Duffy, who form of comedy entertainment. spoke in pure Brooklynese, and the waiter As the genially sarcastic, ever-hopeful con Eddie, a shrewd black menial who obeyed with man Archie -- who never had a last name, even “Yazzuh” but always got the better of his boss in as Duffy himself was never seen -- he defined their verbal exchanges.
