Margaret Richards

Lance and I are off to Kansas City for the College Media Advisers convention next week. While there, I hope to get some work done on Margaret Richards, one of the first woman hired at the United Press. She worked there from 1931 to 1974. That’s her at the far right in this photo taken in a Kansas City newsroom. She was included in the Washington Press Club Foundation’s oral history project on women journalists. She covered major news events while with UP – something that was unique for women at the time.
