Potential Honor for Marjorie Paxson

I have nominated women’s page editor and later Gannett publisher Marjorie Paxson for the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame. I just received confirmation that the nomination was received.

Marjorie was an amazing journalist and leader. Here is my article about Marjorie. I received a letter from her last week.

The committee will look at the nominations in December. My hope is that women’s page editors are included in more journalism halls of fame – so they are a part of public history. (I nominated Roberta Appplegate into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame two years ago. I was thrilled to see her inducted.)
