Miami News Food Editor Bertha Cochran Hahn
In working on the Miami food book, I revisited Miami News food editor Bertha Cochran Hahn. Bertha Cochran Hahn earned a home economics degree from Purdue University and worked as a home demonstration agent. During World War II, she became a second lieutenant in the Army Medical Crops and was stationed in Air Force hospitals. After the war, she earned a journalism degree from the University of Miami. She became the food editor at the Miami News in the 1953 and remained in the position through the 1960s. She worked for editor Jim Bellows – who wrote about her in his book, The Last Editor.
