Domestic & Foreign Newspapers Domestic & Foreign Newspapers Howard-Tilton Memorial Library Microforms & Newspapers Department Updated: Jan 2019 Introduction The newspaper holdings of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library Microforms/Newspapers department are quite diverse, with a strong emphasis on current newspapers published outside the United States. Yet, there are also many newspapers held by the department that are published in the United States and have important historical value. A heavily used and important portion of the collection contains many newspapers from Louisiana and the Gulf region. This publication will present exact holdings of all newspapers housed in the Microforms/Newspapers department of the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library. It must be noted, however, that there are newspapers held in other departments of the Howard-Tilton Library not included in this publication. Many newspapers have been digitized and may be found online. The newspapers listed here are, nevertheless, reflective of most newspapers held by this library. This publication contains two sections. The first section contains domestic newspapers arranged alphabetically by state, city, and name of newspaper. The second contains foreign newspapers. Entries are arranged alphabetically by country, city, and name of newspaper. Most papers listed are located within the Newspapers section (cabinets 12-40), but some are located in the MIC section (cabinets 68-81) or within the Manuscripts section (cabinets 44-63) as noted. It is hoped that this comprehensive listing of newspapers will assist library users in their search for the important information that these documents provide. Scanning and printing accommodations are available.

  • Arkansas Democrat Memories
    The David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History University of Arkansas 365 N. McIlroy Ave. Fayetteville, AR 72701 (479) 575-6829 This oral history interview is based on the memories and opinions of the subject being interviewed. As such, it is subject to the innate fallibility of memory and is susceptible to inaccuracy. All researchers using this interview should be aware of this reality and are encouraged to seek corroborating documentation when using any oral history interview. Arkansas Democrat Memories By Jerry McConnell Greenwood, Arkansas 11 September 2008 Working for the Arkansas Democrat in the middle of the twentieth century was a test of anyone’s dedication to journalism. Poor wages, six-day weeks, lack of fringe benefits, lack of air conditioning and other amenities made it eventually a frustrating experience. I wouldn’t have missed it for anything. It was a good place to learn, there were some great people with whom to share your suffering, and we had some fun. We sometimes did a good job of reporting the news, some of which might not have been reported without us. I went to work for the Arkansas Democrat in June 1951, two days after graduating from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville with a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism. My starting salary was $45.12 a week for a six-day week. I did not figure out until years later that I was making less than a dollar an hour and was probably making just a few cents an hour over the federal minimum wage of 75 cents an hour.

And subsequent senior editor and columnist for the Arkansas Gazette. JP: Couple of years . ED: Jim, first I have to explain to you briefly that this is for the Arkansas Center for Oral and Visual History. And we need your permission to tape this interview with the understanding that your remarks can be used for research and whatever other purposes. It becomes a kind of a public document. JP: Okay. ED: You consent to that. JP: All right. ED: All right. Let’s start with your war record, I guess. You were born in Andalusia, Alabama. 1 JP: Right. ED: And, went to University of Florida. JP: I went to the public schools in Andalusia. And went to and graduated from the University of Florida, although there were two lapses. My sophomore year I transferred to the University of Alabama for one year, then returned to Florida for my junior year. Then, before my senior year, I laid out and worked for a year, first on the Alabama Journal in Montgomery and then on the old Columbus, Georgia, Free Press. I returned to Florida for my senior year and graduated with a B.A. J., one jump ahead of the draft board.

Board of Education Abstract At the shining apex of racial reform in the civil rights era stands the historic 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision. Recently passing its fiftieth anniversary, the ruling struck down legal school segregation which had been upheld by the same court some fifty-eight years earlier in the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling. Brown is highly revered today as a sacred document and cornerstone of American race-relations, but the ruling initially garnered widespread shock, outrage, and defiance in the bedrock of segregation, the deep South. At least that is what we have been told. A closer analysis of southern public opinion regarding Brown reveals a multitude of views ranging from pure racist condemnation to praised acceptance and affirmation of racial equality.

  • Maidens of Miletos and Newspaper Coverage of Suicide: Examining Late Nineteenth and Late Twentieth Century Practice
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 270 826 CS 209 951 AUTHOR Olasky, Marvin N. TITLE Maidens of Miletos and Newspaper Coverage of Suicide: Examining Late Nineteenth and Late Twentieth Century Practice. PUB DATE Aug 86 NOTE 19p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (69th, Norman, OK, August 3-6, 1986).

DESCRIPTORS Content Analysis; Death; Journalism; Media Research; *Newspapers; *News Reporting; *News Writing; *Press Opinion; Religion; *Social Change; Social History; Social Values; *Suicide; Value Judgment IDENTIFIERS Journalism History; Nineteenth Century; Twentieth Century ABSTRACT Recognizing that writing suicide stories iv hard for reporters, a study examined 1,010 suicide stories from the 1879-1900 era published in 12 newspapers from around the United States to determine how American journalists at other times carriedout similar assignments. The newspapers examined were the Atlanta "Constitution," Arkansas "Gazette," Chicago "Tribune," Dallas "Herald," Dallas "News," Los Angeles "Times," New York "Journal," New York "Times," New York "Tribune," San Antonio "Express," San Francisco "Examiner," and "Washington Post." The most surprising finding was th, explicitness of many suicide stories. All of thenewspapers surveyed, with the occasional exception of the Arkansas "Gazette,"gave prominent display to suicide stories, and included mention of base motive and/or bloody detail. The message provided by suicide stories was straightforward: suicide was wrong, socially and theologically. Today, greater concern for invasion of privacy andawareness of potential lawsuits sometimes keeps journalists from being explicit in their judgment of suicide's rightness or wrongness, regardless of their personal feelings.

  • Gazette Project
    Gazette Project Interview with Jack Meriwether, Little Rock, Arkansas, 28 November 2000 Interviewers: Ernie Dumas and Roy Reed Jack Meriwether: Public schools, Paragould. Graduated in 1951. Matriculated at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. There for two years. Transferred to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Completed a bachelor’s in political science and economics. Went from there to duty in Korea after the cessation of hostilities. Army, United States Army, the infantry, “Queen of Battle.” I was in ROTC at Fayetteville. Paid twenty-seven dollars a month. Spent a couple of years in the service. Came back to Greene County. Decided on pursuing a career in public administration and in 1958 went to University of Kansas at Lawrence to pursue a master’s, which I completed, I believe, by 1963. After my campus year at University of Kansas, I interned with the city of Little Rock, where I’d previously been employed for a few months between Korea and graduate school. Went to work as an administrative assistant in the office of the City Manager [in] 1959. In 1960 I was promoted, because of a vacancy, to Assistant City Manager. Stayed until 1963. The next year, 1964, I went to work 1 at the city of Texarkana, Arkansas as city manager. Stayed there until 1969 and then was hired in Little Rock as city manager in 1969, serving until 1973. The latter part of 1973, I resigned my post and went back to Paragould to join the staff of the First National Bank of Commerce. I was there about a year and a half, and the Gazette made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, to serve as assistant general manager under publisher [Hugh] Patterson and general manager Jim Williamson.
