The blacks on the paper include an editorial writer, a columnist, two assistant city editors, two cultural writers and 14 other reporters and photographers. Of its 393 newsroom employees, including copy boys, clerks and trainees, the Post claims a black representation of 40, or more than 10%.

Anderson was the first to report that California Republican George Murphy remained on the Technicolor Inc. payroll while serving in the Senate; Murphy lost the next election. The columnist also dug up many of the facts in the case of the late Washington Fixer Nathan Voloshen and Martin Sweig, aide to then House Speaker John McCormack, who used McCormack's office for profitable influence peddling.
