Helen Muir information
I just heard back from PBS and someone was able to track down a copy of the American Experience program, Mr. Miami. The program includes an interview with Helen Muir – a Miami News and Miami Herald women’s page journalist I am studying. Here is a link to the transcript of the program. Below is a new image related to Helen that I just found. She was a big advocate for libraries. I am continuing to collect information about Helen.

Beach conservation and women’s pages
We spent Thanksgiving at the beach. (Curtis’s first trip to the ocean!) Women’s page journalists were often advocates for beach conservation before it was popular. This was especially true if local women’s clubs took up the cause. Below is some video of Miami Herald editorial page writer Juanita Greene speaking about her conservation efforts. (She worked with women’s page editor Maria Anderson in the 1960s.)

Anne Rowe presentation
I received word last week that my article about St. Petersburg Times women’s page editor. Rowe won several Penney-Missouri Awards in the 1960s and was one of the few women to become part of management. We collected information about Rowe from the Penney-Missouri Award papers at the University of Missouri and from the Nelson Poynter papers at the University of South Florida.
