Brief summary of a talk by Frank L. Ballard, county agent leader for Oregon, at the 1931 AAACE meeting in Corvallis, Oregon. In a follow-up commentary, J.R. Beck, county agent for Polk County, Dallas, Oregon, described his procedures for providing news material to local editors. American Association of Agricultural College Editors.
Survey report at annual AAACE meeting. "About 40 per cent of the county extension agents now furnish extension information to their local newspapers regularly, only a very few altogether neglecting to do so, but there is a distinct need for editorial training for agents." Among the training means proposed: journalism courses for prospective agents while in college, state news-writing training meetings held by the college editor for county agents, correspondence courses in news writing, and bulletins on news writing. American Association of Agricultural College Editors.
Report based on a nationwide survey to learn about sources of photographs,uses of photographs, who takes photographs, usefulness of photo training for extension agents and specialists, staffing, filing systems. "As nearly as could be determined, four states (Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado) employ what might be termed staff photographers in the sense that they seemed to be at the command of the editor, and not just college or university photographers working occasionally for the editor."
