“In 1947, while covering the notorious Black Dahlia case, Aggie Underwood [1902–1984] was promoted to editor of the city desk, making her the first woman of a major metropolitan newspaper to hold that position.” #LAPL: www.lapl.org/collections-... #journalismhistory #womenshistory
LAPL caption of this b/w photo: "Aggie at her desk in 1949, two years after becoming the city editor for the Los Angeles Herald and Express. Visible is the baseball bat she kept handy in case she needed to keep overzealous Hollywood press agents in line. Not seen is the starter pistol she also kept on hand in case the newsroom became too quiet. Aggie remained city editor until she retired in 1968. (Los Angeles Herald Examiner Collection)."

"In mountain-near night-cold air, the [Tournament of Roses] coverage begins long before daybreak. Even that early, every second is precious for a pm daily. Pictures, speed-flashed in the dark, must be taken of scores of floats," journalist Aggie Underwood. #journalismhistory #RoseParade #Pasadena
Another excerpt from her memoir “Newspaperwoman” (1949) about the Tournament of Roses: The 1935 tournament was my last big story for the Record before I joined the Herald-Express. Except for the war gap I covered the tourney from 1981 to 1947. In mountain-near night-cold air, the coverage begins long before daybreak Even that early, every second is precious for a p.m. daily. Pictures, speed-flashed in the dark, must be taken of scores of floats, some of which are still being decorated. With chilled fingers, captions must be written and keyed accurately to plate-holders, which are rushed to the office by copy boys or by motorcycle policemen retained for the day. Reporters and photographers are responsible for covering arrests, accidents, hospital cases, the celebrities present and their activities and quotes, and a myriad of sidelights, such as bonfire pictures or visitors who have journeyed great distances or by unusual conveyances to be among the 1,500,000 spectators—a huge estimate claimed by civic enthusiasts. Then there is the miles-long, spokes-spread traffic jam before and after the parade. Book cover for Aggie Underwood's memoir "Newspaperwoman" which includes a quote from Gene Fowler "What a woman! What a book!"

Mughal Era: The Mughals institutionalized information with Waqia-Nawis (newswriters) and Akhbarat (handwritten newsletters). These early “newspapers” reported local events to the court, laying the groundwork for systematic journalism. 3/10

The scandal that almost took down a President. 📰 In Nov 1986, a Lebanese magazine blew the lid off the secret arms-for-hostages deal. The Reagan White House went into absolute panic mode.

The media frenzy was unlike anything seen since Watergate.
