Food Editor Katie Carlson – “Martha Stewart before there was Martha Stewart”
I came across the story of Katie Carlson yesterday while researching the history of the Association of Food Journalists, Inc., (formerly the Newspaper Food Editors and Writers Association, Inc.). Katie was an officer in the organization in the 1970s. Carlson started as food editor of the Daytona Beach News-Journal in 1971 and was promoted to women’s editor in 1977.Her food pages won first place in the national Vesta awards competition for three consecutive years starting in 1973.

Grocery store advertising
Watch CBS News Videos Online I am now studying the history of grocery stores. These stores provided much of the advertising for women’s pages in newspapers. Here is an interesting story about the history of grocery stores. The reporter wrote:“Women in particular were freed from the chore of shopping at several locations. ‘Supermarkets played a large role in liberating the woman,’ said Louis Bucklin, professor emeritus of business administration at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. ‘They reduced the amount of time they had to spend on shopping, with fewer trips to the store.’” I am looking to track the impact of food advertising and the content of the food…
