Tina Daniell interview
Today I am interviewing Tina Daniell – the daughter of longtime women’s page journalist Constance Daniell. This is a favorite passage from Constance’s obituary:“Connie was a larger-than-life personality,” recalled Barbara Dembski, the Journal Sentinel’s Crossroads editor. “I can still see her traipsing around the newsroom in a ball gown, filing a live report on debutante balls and the like. She was incredibly tuned in to the arts and art community here, which was also a staple of the then-Women’s Department coverage.” Tina was also a reporter at the Milwaukee Journal. I am looking forward to learning about her mother.

Food Editor Jane Nickerson
I am continuing my research on newspaper food editors. I recently discovered Jane Nickerson who was the food editor of the New York Times from 1942 to 1957, when she moved to Lakeland, Fla. She was the food editor of the Lakeland Ledger (a NY Times-owned newspaper) from 1973 to 1988. I just ordered her Florida cookbook. At the Times, she was replaced by Craig Claiborne who remained in that position for nearly 30 years. He has been described as the country’s first male editor. According to a 1965 Time Magazine article, of the 700 American newspaper food editors, there were fewer than six men.

NYT moves Motherlode to the Style Section
There was an interesting post in the New York Times today. The Motherlode section that focuses on parenting is being moved from the Magazine section to the Style section. (The Style section is the former Women’s Pages – which often focused on family, fashion, food and furnishings.) Here is the announcement. There were several comment critical of the move. Here is one:“Clear message from the new magazine regime : parenting is for the women’s pages (style) section, not the serious journalism section (magazine).” Interesting that the *stigma* of the women’s pages remains – even with the name change decades ago.
