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.

Jim Bellows letters to Helen Muir
I came across these letters from Jim Bellows to Helen Muir in Helen Muir’s papers at the University of Miami. Helen wrote for the women’s page of the Miami News when Jim was an editor at the newspaper. (Helen would go on to be a book editor at the Miami Herald. Jim became a legendary newspaper editor.) The two stayed in touch over the years. Here is a link to a letter than Helen wrote to Jim following the death of his second wife, Maggie Savoy. I am working on collecting information about both Helen and Jim. They were both great journalists and advocates for women in the field.

Helen Muir’s house
When we were in Coral Gables two weeks ago to go through journalist Helen Muir’s papers at the University of Miami, we went by Helen’s home. She lived near environmental great Marjory Stoneman Douglas. They were a fun pair. Helen wrote for both the Miami News and the Miami Herald women’s sections. I am going to work on drafting a paper on Helen on Friday.
