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 particular note in this issue is the student paper's increasing focus on the impact of the Koran War draft on civilian journalists. Pieces include an editorial authored by UMaine alumnus, 2nd Lt. William J. "Bill" Brennan, from the UN peace camp in Munsan-Ni, Korea; excerpts from a letter authored by former Lewiston Daily Sun reporter Corporal Elwood "Woody" Bigelow about his deployment to Korea; and a letter written by Nick Mayo, a former sports editor of the Bangor Commercial.
