Florida food editors
Yesterday I received a book I found on ebay – Food with a Florida Flair. It was written in 1968 by Miami Herald food editor Virginia Heffington. In it, she mentions that she won a Vesta Award in 1966. (That was the top award for food writing.) She would have worked for Marie Anderson and followed in the footsteps of Jeanne Voltz. I am studying the careers of food editors in the 1950s and 1960s.

Gannett newspaper executive Allen Neuharth was a big champion for women journalists and later promoted women’s page editors Gloria Biggs and Marjorie Paxson to publishers. This letter is from Neuharth to Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson. It can be found in her papers at the WHMC. I have published articles about Marjorie and Marie.
