After sinking an estimated $25 million into his newspaper ventures, Marshall Field III had been loosening his grip on the editorial direction of his surviving daily, the tabloid Chicago Sun-Times (circ. over 610,000 daily). Last fall, though he kept the title of publisher, Field gave 34-year-old Marshall Field Jr. a lift up the ladder; he gave him day-to-day command of the news room to be shared with 50-year-old Managing Editor Milburn ("Pete") Akers (TIME, Nov. 14). This week, the elder Field made the transfer of power complete. He gave up his title...
...Menu. Hecht's family of magazines now includes: School and College Management, a monthly free to 32,000 U.S. educators (it pays for itself in advertising); Baby Care Manual (circ. 360,000), a quarterly distributed free to hospitals to give to new mothers; Your New Baby (circ. 400,000), another quarterly bought by diaper services and department stores for distribution to new mothers; Senior Prom (circ. 600,000), a 25? monthly for teen-age girls; and Varsity (circ. 250,000), a 25? bimonthly for high-school and college boys...
...Journal's board of directors. Says Grant : "Damn it, I'm not anybody's Dutch Uncle. I'm just in the newspaper business . . ." Journalist Grant's devotion to the news had brought handsome returns. Last week Media Records reported that the evening Journal (circ. 325,039), led all U.S. newspapers in advertising linage for the first eight months of 1950. Though published in the nation's 13th city (pop. 632,938), the Journal was ahead of the second-place Chicago Tribune by 750,000 lines. Last year the Journal took in $20 million...
...Real Hick Town." The Journal dominates most of Wisconsin and swamps its only Milwaukee competitor, Hearst's morning Sentinel (circ. 169,445), partly because it never forgets that Milwaukee, in the words of one Journalist, is "a real hick town." The Journal covers it like a town gossip. No club meeting, ladies' bake sale, wedding or business luncheon is too small to rate a Journal story. But its wide coverage of the town's doings has not made the Journal necessarily loved by all its readers. Independent, sometimes cantankerous and always sharp in its editorial opinions...
...such stunts, husky, 29-year-old Reporter Keasler, a war veteran who broke in on the Journal (circ. 248,791) only a year ago, has made himself the most talked-about newsman in Atlanta. As a self-made smart aleck he has not yet been shot at or even punched, but he has given Atlantans plenty of provocation...
