Abstract/ Summary

The Maine Journalist, a student newspaper created by students in the University of Maine Department of Journalism between February, 1950 and May, 1952. The publication's run featured stories highlighting the activities and profiles of junior and senior journalism majors as well as professional journalists and newspaper publications across the state of Maine.

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 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 interest in this issue is a story authored by Kalil Ayoob, city editor of the Bangor Daily News reporting on the U.S. occupation forced in Korea. The Korean War impacted the lives of numerous UMaine graduates.

Barrows, Sid Folsom, Robert "Bob" Lord, David Macken, Robert "Bob" Snowman, and Richard "Dick" Sprague. Additional alumni mentioned include Gerald A Rogovin, Kenneth F.
