Information about food editor Peggy Daum
I have found more information about longtime Milwaukee Journal food editor Peggy Daum Judge. Daum is mentioned in the above book about writing recipes. Here is her obit. A scholarship is given in her name at the University of Arizona, where she earned a degree in journalism. She is not included in the book about the history of the Milwaukee Journal although there are three references to the food section. The food sections originated in the women’s pages of newspapers. I am working on writing food journalism into journalism history.

Researching food editor Peggy Daum
I have begun researching the career of Milwaukee Journal food editor Peggy Daum. She was a multiple Vesta Award winner (the top prize for newspaper food writing) and edited the above cookbook. I am writing a conference proposal about 1960s food sections that would focus on the work of Jeanne Voltz, Ann Hamman and Peggy Daum. These sections were a part of women’s pages.

New Research Subject: Ann Hamman
I just came across a new research subject – Ann Hamman, the food editor of the The Courier in Evansville, Indiana. She wrote a great letter to the editor of the Columbia Journalism Review in 1971. In it she defended the work of food editors and their roles at newspapers. In looking into that letter, I discovered Ann’s interesting background. Unlike some of the other fashion/food editors I have looked at, Ann was highly trained in home ec and consumer ec for her role as food editor. I hope to track down her son and start collecting some of Ann’s articles.

Great reporting on food history
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a great article about food history today. Here is a link to it. I am working on a conference paper about food sections in newspapers. (These sections originated in women’s pages.) I am focusing on the work of Jeanne Voltz at the Los Angeles Times.
