I came across this great feature about the food section in Milwaukee. It provides a great history, including the increasing focus on food news such as nutrition and food safety. It includes references to Peggy Daum, a food editor from the 1960s who I am researching. Later this week I will be interviewing the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel food editor Nancy J. Stohl about Peggy. I am working on a project about the role of food sections in the women’s pages.

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.
