With a legendary beginning as a printing press floated up the Arkansas River in 1819, the Arkansas Gazette is inextricably linked with the state’s history, reporting on every major Arkansas event until the paper’s demise in 1991 after a long, bitter, and very public newspaper war. Looking Back at the Arkansas Gazette, knowledgeably and intimately edited by longtime Gazette reporter Roy Reed, comprises interviews from over a hundred former Gazette staffers recalling the stories they reported on and the people they worked with from the late forties to the paper’s end. The result is a nostalgic and justifiably admiring look back at a publication known for its progressive stance in a conservative Southern state, a newspaper that, after winning two Pulitzers for its brave rule-of-law stance during the Little Rock Central High Crisis, was considered one of the country’s greatest. The interviews, collected from archives at the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History at the University of Arkansas, provide fascinating details on renowned editors and reporters such as Harry Ashmore, Orville Henry, and Charles Portis, journalists who wrote daily on Arkansas’s always-colorful politicians, its tragic disasters and sensational crimes, its civil rights crises, Bill Clinton, the Razorbacks sports teams, and much more. Full of humor and little-known details, Looking Back at the Arkansas Gazette is a fascinating remembrance of a great newspaper.

"The Arkansas Gazette Project began in January 2000 to collect and preserve the history of the "oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi," which ended its operations in 1991. These interviews preserve the publication's legacy as Arkansas's "newspaper of record." Hugh B. Patterson Jr., Ralph B. Patterson, and Carrick H. Patterson have provided generous financial support for this endeavor. Roy Reed, a respected journalist and professor, directed this project. Along with other journalists, he conducted interviews with former Gazette employees. Reed began his career as a reporter for the Gazette, where he covered the desegregation crisis in Little Rock. He later covered the civil rights movement and the White House for the New York Times. He also taught journalism at the University of Arkansas for sixteen years. Reed published Looking Back at the Arkansas Gazette: An Oral Histor y in 2009"--Pryor Center website.

The Improbable Life of the Arkansas Democrat collects over one hundred interviews with employees of the Democrat, including editors, report- ers, feature writers, cartoonists, circulation managers, business manag- ers, salespeople, pressroom managers, typesetters, and others, from the 1930s through the early 1990s, when the Democrat took over the Arkansas Gazette after an aggressive newspaper war. This new addition to Arkansas journalism history provides vivid details about what it was like to work at the old Democrat. August Engel, who led the paper with focused devotion for forty-two years, was famous for his thrift, allowing no air conditioning in the newsroom, and paying sub-par wages. In spite of these conditions, there are tales here of dedi- cated journalism professionals endeavoring to do good work. Readers who remember the final acrimony between the two papers may be surprised to learn that for many years the Democrat and the Gazette owners operated under a tacit agreement of civility. The papers didn't hire each other's staff, for example, and when a fire broke out in the Gazette pressroom, Democrat management offered the use of its press. Staffers recall that when the Gazette struggled with an advertising boycott and reduced circulation during the Little Rock Central High cri- sis because of its perceived progressive editorial stance, which infuriated many Arkansans, the Democrat did less than it might have to capitalize. The eventual newspaper war saw the end of any semblance of civil- ity when the Democrat hired an aggressive and infamous managing edi- tor named John Robert Starr who began giving away classified ads, print- ing more news, and changing publication from evening to morning. Through these firsthand stories of those who lived it, The Improbable Life of the Arkansas Democrat tells the story of how the number-two paper became the unlikely number one, forever changing not only Arkansas journalism but also Arkansas history.
