Dorothy Jurney and Michigan
Yesterday I received this back issue of Michigan History Magazine. The issue features the following letter to the editor in response to my article about women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate. The writer gives kudos to another great Michigan women’s page editor: Dorothy Jurney. (My article featured a photo of Roberta and Dorothy together.) These women were pioneers in redesigning women’s page content. My article about Dorothy comes out this Spring. Here is a link to speech at Roberta’s induction into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.

Roberta Applegate article
I found this Miami Herald article written by women’s page journalist Roberta Applegate in the Nixon Presidential Library. Although the Herald typically had a strong women’s page, this story is just fluff. It must have been a disappointing assignment for Roberta who had a hard news background. (I wrote an article about Roberta in 2007.) I am looking through the Nixon finding guides for information about a White House Task Force about women hat included women’s page journalist Vera Glaser.

Nixon Library
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy In this clip is a reference to a document showing President Nixon’s reluctance to appoint women to significant governmental positions. This was something that Vera Glaser (women’s page and political journalist) and government employee Catherine East worked on. I have gone through the most recent batch of information made available from the Nixon Library in the hopes of finding references to East or Glaser. I did not finding anything about those women. (In another women’s page reference, until recently, the Nixon Library was run by the son of Detroit and Phoenix women’s page editor Jean Taylor.) I did…

Albert Applegate
I just completed our Christmas cards including one for Albert Applegate. Albert is the brother of the late Roberta Applegate, women’s page journalist in the 1950s and 1960s in Michigan and then Miami. (She was also a wire reporter during WWII and a journalistic/PR first in several areas.) One of my favorite moments was presenting her Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame Award to him at Michigan State a few years ago. Below is video of me giving the award to Albert and then his acceptance.
