Editor & Publisher, September 12, 1970: Winning the $2,500 Kilgore Prize

A short item in the personnel pages of Editor & Publisher for September 12, 1970, reporting the winner of the Barney Kilgore Award from the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation. The page around it is the usual mix of industry news: AP bureau chief moves in Latin America, a retirement at the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, editor changes at papers from Corning, N.Y., to Findlay, Ohio.

Howard I. Finberg, senior in journalism at San Francisco State College, is the winner of the $2,500 Barney Kilgore Award sponsored by the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation.

The item also names the four other finalists, all senior journalism students, who received special award certificates:

Carl W. Schwartz III of Danville, Ill., U. of Illinois; Roger W. Smith of San Bernardino, Calif., U. of Southern California; Stephen E. Stewart of Monroeville, Ala., U. of Georgia, and June Ellen Tyhurst of Bartlesville, Okla., Oklahoma State University.
