Update on Media History Move

What many of us knew (and loved) as the St. Louis Journalism Review, and not just because the board (Joe was a member) met downstairs at the old Balaban's for Sunday brunch and long, interesting discussions, is now the Gateway Journalism Review. Herewith a link to their story about SLMHF's move to Grand Center. And you can sign up for their newsletter there, too. http://gatewayjr.org/st-louis-media-foundation-archives-to-reopen-to-public-after-devastating-fire/

 

Throwback Thursday, Indeed!

A lovely piece by Paul Schankman for HEC about the St. Louis Media History Foundation. Lots of nostalgic bits of radio voices and television personalities, nearly all local. Plus some discussion of what we do. Here's the link to it:

And if you want to know more about the MHF, we can be found here, although not ALL the stuff is in the new location yet. We're still getting things organized - and part of my basement is still occupied with some of the collection after the disastrous fire at the Karpeles Museum over a year ago.

Thanks to Paul and to our Founding Father Frank Absher and all the board, plus Kerry Manderbach, our curator. And especially to the Kranzberg Foundation, who has rented us space at the Marcelle. 

 

Gastronomic Diplomacy

An interesting piece found, of all places in the University of Nebraska alumni publication. So sorry all we can do now is virtual travel, but this is heartening to read.
