The end of A.P.I.
I was sad to hear that A.P.I. (American Press Institute) is merging with N.A.A.F. Here is more about the merger.
In the 1950s, prior to the beginning of the Penney-Missouri Awards, the seminars at A.P.I. were one of the only places that women’s page editors could network. Editors Gloria Biggs, Vivian Castleberry, Anne Rowe and Dorothy Jurney attended and presented at A.P.I. Castleberry said in her oral history that API gave her the motivation to make her section progressive.
Lance and I went to a API seminar about Lifestyle Editors in Virginia a few years ago although the topics were more 1950s than Vivian likely encountered.
