Above is video of women’s page editor Colleen “Koky” Dishon’s brother, Bob Kocher. Bob was very helpful in my research about Koky. He sent me a family history that Koky wrote and video of the memorial for Koky that the Chicago Tribune created. I appreciate his help.

I am working on collecting images for my article on women’s page editor Colleen “Koky” Dishon that is now scheduled to run this summer in a Ohio history publication. Koky, who went on to become the first woman on the Chicago Tribune’s masthead, created the WomaNews section in the 1990s – pictured above. It was a revised, modern section that was also controversial. I wrote for the section several times in the 1990s and loved reading it. The section was later eliminated.
