Collecting Jane Nickerson Articles

AEJMC Talk About Feminism
Today, Lance and I gave our final AEJMC talks in St. Louis. We both addressed feminism. I concluded my talk with a collection of quotes that Los Angeles Times women’s page editor Maggie Savoy used to explain feminism to men. For example: “Now, fellas, I know this whole lib thing comes as a shock. Who needs another revolution? This one for heaven’s sakes, threatens apple pie. Don’t worry, men. Apple pie will not disappear. You may just have to bake it.” – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Off to AEJMC in St. Louis
Today we are off to the AEJMC Convention in St. Louis where I present four papers – all with a connection to the women’s pages. It is our first time back in the three years since we left St. Louis. St. Louis was the hometown of Carol Sutton, pictured above. She was a women’s page editor in Louisville who rose to the position of managing editor – the first woman to do so at a newspaper that her family did not own. I will be speaking about her this week.

More on food editor Jane Nickerson
In my research on NY Times and Lakeland Ledger food editor Jane Nickerson, I came across this in-house ad. It adds some new information about her work in her years between the newspapers while she was also raising her children. As I suspected, she continued to freelance and did not leave journalism completely.
