Vivian Castleberry reference in Thinking Big
In my research on Dallas Time Herald women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry, I came across the following reference in the book Thinking Big about the Los Angeles Times. (At one point, the L.A. Times owned the Dallas Times Herald.)
“The major criticism of (editor Tom) Johnson was that his liberalism and commitment to new journalism was slick at best and superficial at worst. With all its changes, the Times Herald still remained a partial extension of its formal self. Certainly it had not become an anti-establishment paper. Editorial board member Vivian Castleberry was still the only woman appointed to a high-level position since the Johnson changes. When a board vacancy came up, Castleberry recommended a woman she knew. The job went to a man. ‘You’re representing the women very well,’ she was told privately. Although publicly, the Times Herald argued that qualified women were hard to find.” (pg 419)
This representation is consistent with what I have found about the Dallas Times Herald.
