Abstract:

Papers, mainly 1964-1985, of the managing editor of the Milwaukee Journal, also including papers of his predecessor, Arville Schaleben.

Many issues relating to the operation of the press such as First Amendment rights, journalists' shield laws, ethics, and libel are represented. Other aspects of Journal operations which are covered include the library and the Madison and Washington, D.C., bureaus. Prominent correspondents include Harry Hill, Wallace Lemoe, Richard Leonard, Louis Lochner, Russell Lynch, Carl Riblet, Jr., Joseph Zigman, and Foley & Lardner, the law firm which represented the Journal.
