Today in History: March 25, 1958 – North Dakota Press plans UND headquarters

Today in History revisits the Tuesday, March 25, 1958, edition of the Grand Forks Herald and highlights a story of the North Dakota Press Association establishing headquarters at the University of North Dakota, according to an Associated Press dispatch.

The North Dakota Press Assn., will establish its headquarters at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, according to a Associated Press dispatch.

The association will join with the University’s department of journalism in hiring a person to work part time as an instructor in journalism and part time for the press organization.

F. J. Froeschle, Lisbon, N. D., publisher who is executive secretary of the North Dakota Press Assn., said a special committee of the association has agreed to accept the invitation of the University’s journalism department to establish headquarters at the University and to join in engaging a person to serve both the department and the association.

The person to fill the position has not been chosen, and arrangements for actual opening of the association’s headquarters at Grand Forks have not been completed, Froeschle said.

The press association had a similar invitation from the printing department of the Wahpeton School of Science.

Froeschle said when the press association’s office is established at the University, both the association’s business affairs and its advertising service will be handled there.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
