Abstract:

Papers of Chester L. Morrison, a journalist, broadcaster, and editor, consisting of articles, scripts, and notes which chiefly relate to his work as a war correspondent during World War II. The articles, mainly 1942-1946, include draft copies of reports to the Boston Herald, the Chicago Sun, Coronet, and other periodicals. Representing his post-war career as a senior editor of Look is a bibliography of articles. The scripts relate to news broadcasting for CBS in 1942 and NBC from 1943 to 1945. The remainder of the collection consists of notes and notebooks relating to World War II assignments and post-war duties. While the majority deal with overseas reporting in Cuba, Japan, Vietnam, and the Near East, two notebooks of special interest relate to Robert Frost and John F. Kennedy.
