I answered the final questions for my Koky Dishon article today. (She was a women’s page editor at the Chicago Tribune and later the first woman on the masthead. I wrote for one of the sections she created – Women’s News.) The paper was initially presented at the 2008 AJHA convention in Virginia. My article will be published in a state history journal in May or June.

I have answered all the questions in the Koky Dishon manuscript. The article is scheduled to run this Spring in a state history magazine.

I have sent off my revised article on the Chicago Tribune’s Colleen “Koky” Dishon to a history magazine. Koky was a women’s page editor at several newspapers, including the Milwaukee Journal and the Milwaukee Seninel. The previous post is video of a lifetime achievement award for Koky. This image is of Koky and her husband Bob.

I just received the edited draft of my Koky Dishon manuscript for a history magazine. (Koky was the first woman on the masthead of the Chicago Tribune.) The questions are good and I should have them answered and turned back in soon. I’m glad to be telling Koky’s story – especially because I wrote for one of the Chicago Tribune sections that she created: Womenews. Here is a video tribute to Koky.
