New Ken Burns project

The new Ken Burns’ PBS project on the National Parks includes a section on the Everglades. He includes Miami Herald reporter Juanita Greene. She worked with many of the women’s page journalists I studied – Roberta Applegate, Marie Anderson, Helen Muir, etc.

These women, along with Marjory Stoneman Douglas, were instrumental in saving the Everglades.

I am also collecting information on Miami Herald editor John Pennekamp. He was an early champion of the environment – especially the Everglades. I am going to examine how he framed the cause of conservation. This was also a common cause of women’s page editors and women’s clubs
