The Great Reporter: 1942
September 1942. "New York, New York. Photographic department of the New York Times newspaper. One of eight staff photographers returns to staff room after assignment. Over door is eulogy of news camera. At left are maps of the city and region for photographers' reference." Acetate negative by Marjory Collins for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Photo, far right
Is that Neville Chamberlain? Also, my dad, who flew torpedo bombers in WWII, said they had something like "The Great Reporter" over the door of the ready room on the aircraft carrier. But it said "I am the best damn aviator that ever flew."
A Wonderful Life
Looks like he's gonna count Zuzu's petals.
Eight Is Enough?
I would have thought the NYT at that time would have had more then than eight staff photographers.
[Photos in the Times came from staffers, freelancers and wire services. - Dave]
Dave, while I agree that photos also came from, freelancers, UPI and AP wire services for all metropolitan newspapers, my father, Joe Kordick, at that time was one of over 25 staff photographers for the newly founded Chicago Sun.
Since the NYT was a larger paper, located in the largest city in Country, I find it hard to believe that their "staff" only consisted of eight.
[The Sun was a "picture newspaper." The "Gray Lady," as the name implies, was anything but. The NYT in-house newsletters from the 1940s list from seven to nine staff photographers. - Dave]
