    Dorothy Jurney proofs

    I just finished the final proofs of my article about legendary women’s page editor Dorothy Jurney. I also just received the permission form for the use of one of her pictures from her papers at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection at the University of Missouri. This research has been in the works for the past five years. I am so happy that it is coming out in Journalism History this Spring.

    Dorothy Jurney and Michigan

    Yesterday I received this back issue of Michigan History Magazine. The issue features the following letter to the editor in response to my article about women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate. The writer gives kudos to another great Michigan women’s page editor: Dorothy Jurney. (My article featured a photo of Roberta and Dorothy together.) These women were pioneers in redesigning women’s page content. My article about Dorothy comes out this Spring. Here is a link to speech at Roberta’s induction into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.
