Newspaper Editor

CARL D. GROAT '11 is ably qualified by his experience, both as a news reporter and a news executive, to assess press values in present-day America. At present Editor of The Cincinnati Post, he started his thirty-odd years of newspapering on the Pittsfield Eagle, covering suburban activities. From Pittsfield he moved to the Springfield Union, then to the Washington Times. By his persistence in getting aboard Secretary of War Garrison's special train bound for the Ohio flood area during the middle 'teens, he gained a scoop and a job with the United Press. With this news service he was successively Washington correspondent, foreign correspondent at the Versailles Conference, bureau manager and news director. In 1933 he became editor of the Youngstown Telegram, later assuming his present editorship of The Cincinnati Post.
