Abstract/ Summary
The inaugural issue of the short-lived student newspaper, The Maine Journalist. The publication's run featured stories highlighting activities and personal profiles of junior and senior journalism majors at the University of Maine between February, 1950 and May, 1952. The paper, distributed to newspaper offices statewide, documents the latest technology adopted by Maine's newspaper publishers, state and national professional meetings, and career updates for professional Maine journalists and alumni of the UMaine's Department of Journalism. The Maine Journalist supported efforts by graduating seniors to locate internship opportunities as well as employment following graduation.
Of particular note in this issue is a photograph of University of Maine alumna Marilyn Wyman seated next to American poet, biographer, journalist, and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Carl Sandburg, at a Press Club luncheon.
UMaine journalism alumni mentioned seeking summer training in 1950 include: James G. Barrows, Harold Sidney Folsom, Jr., Robert F. Lord, William A Loubier, David Macken, Roland Mann, Alvan Mersky, Oliver William Robertson, and Richard W. Sprague.
