...Trib hands, among them City Editors Joseph Herzberg and Fendall Yerxa, Pulitzer Prize-winning Correspondent Homer Bigart (who went to the Times). The revamping job turned the paper into a vamp, neither Times nor tabloid-nor Trib. By then the smallest of Manhattan's seven major dailies, the Herald Tribune earned the additional distinction of being the only morning paper that had a substantial weekday circulation drop: from a 1955 peak of 387,276 to 367,248 this year. And despite such costly come-ons as a handy pocket-size TV supplement (editor: Hy Gardner) and a staff-produced...
Newspaperman's Newspaper. Last week, plainly in need of stronger medicine, the Herald Tribune was about to get the biggest pick-me-up in its 116-year history (all accompanied by the adjectival drumbeating of Tex McCrary Inc., the radio-TV performer's public-relations outfit). Though it has owned the paper outright ever since Brownie's grandfather Whitelaw took over the old Tribune in 1872, the Reid family decided to reorganize its closed corporation as a Delaware stock company in order to bring in outside capital, lined up several potential investors. To London last week went...
With the promise of new capital came an assurance that the Herald Tribune would again cultivate its biggest asset: the tradition of serious, independent journalism that started with Founder Horace Greeley and under the late Publisher Ogden Reid Sr. earned the paper the reputation of being a newspaperman's newspaper.* In support of this aim, the Trib plans to add up to 16 columns to its news space and put its emphasis on the first rather than the second half of Brownie Reid's credo: "More News in Less Time...
...That Glitters. In a flurry of new appointments and policy changes, the Herald Tribune announced that its editorial-page section, to be increased to two full pages daily and Sunday, will be headed by William J. Miller, 45, veteran of the Cleveland Press and TIME, onetime Nieman fellow at Harvard, and for the past three years an editorial writer for LIFE. To a new job called "News Development Editor," with the task of applying newsmagazine techniques to daily reporting, went Arthur Twining Hadley II, Yale '49, onetime (1950-56) staffer on Newsweek. Other additions: Society Gossipist Charles Ventura, longtime...
...Herald Tribune already has one of Manhattan's most readable sport sections, backstopped by literate Columnist Red Smith, a fine drama critic in Walter Kerr, plus a strong stable of pundits-Walter Lippmann, the Alsops, Roscoe Drummond, David Lawrence. Under Brownie Reid, the Trib has opened a Moscow bureau (cost: $75,000 a year), staffed by able B.J. Cutler. Under longtime Associated Press Correspondent Don (The FBI Story) Whitehead, its Washington bureau in the past two years has turned in many a solid reporting job, such as the series last year by Tom Lambert and Robert S. Bird...
