Celestine Sibley, Reporter

More about the book

This in-depth and chronological selection takes the best of the best from Celestine Sibley's days as a beat from her stint, beginning in 1932 at age fifteen, as a cub reporter at the Mobile Press, through her work with the Pensacola News-Journal, and the high points of her career at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.For historical perspective and behind-the-scenes interest, commentary from Sibley's peers discussing her style and giving remembrances of various news stories accompany many of the articles. Sibley frequently recalled those interesting early assignments in her later columns and Richard L. Eldredge's well-researched introductory material draws heavily on Sibley's own words.
