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 note in this issue is a report about job prospects for members of the Class of 1951 journalism students as a result of the draft depleting the citizen workforce. The issue includes a photograph of the five graduating seniors of the journalism program in 1951, Robert P. Wilson, Robert F. Lord, Alvan Mersky, William A. Loubier, and David R. Macken.
