The Media Drop

Dallas Morning News columnist Norma Adams-Wade shares her appreciation and adoration for Julia Scott Reed, former News columnist and colleague in the 1970’s. Reed, who passed away at age 87 last week, represented a lot to Wade over the years. Wade informs that Reed was “the first black writer hired full time at a major daily newspaper in Dallas and one of the first at a major daily in the South,” and, by the way this piece is written, a lot more than just a role model.
