Excellent!(1901-1983) Turner Catledge was an American journalist, best known for his work at The New York Times. He was managing editor from 1952 to 1964 when he became the paper's first executive editor. Catledge's first news job was at fourteen years old for the Neshoba Democrat, setting type. After college, the Democrat offered him another job but instead, he became editor of the Tunica Times (Tunica, Mississippi) in 1922. Clayton Rand, the publisher of the Times ran a series of stories denouncing the Ku Klux Klan; under intense pressure from local merchants, Rand sold the newspaper to another publisher, putting Catledge out of work. Catledge later served as managing editor and mechanical superintendent of the Tupelo Journal and then worked for The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, Tennessee.Finally, in the spring of 1929, Catledge began working at The New York Times, starting in the New York bureau, until later when he began work in the company's Washington, D.C. bureau as a reporter covering the U.S. House of Representatives.In the winter of 1941, he left the New York Times to become chief correspondent and later Editor-in-Chief of the Chicago Sun. In 1943, he was rehired by The New York Times as a national correspondent.Over the remainder of his career, he worked for the Times as managing editor, executive editor, and last as the company's vice president.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022.
