Biography/History
Frank Alexander Aukofer, former chief of the Washington, D.C., bureau of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, perhaps the best small newspaper bureau in the nation's Capital, was born in Milwaukee on April 6, 1935. His parents were Herbert A. and Wanda Mary Kaminski Aukofer. The son and grandson of printers, Aukofer followed their trade and worked his way through college as an apprentice and journeyman compositor and Linotype operator at commercial printing shops and The Milwaukee Journal. He was also editor of the Marquette Tribune. Immediately after graduating from the Marquette University College of Journalism in 1960, Aukofer began his professional career as a reporter in the Journal's editorial department. He quickly earned a reputation for his coverage of civil rights activities of Father James E. Groppi in Wisconsin and other civil rights stories around the country. In 1966 he won a Ford Foundation fellowship at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, where he studied civil rights and civil liberties. Among the stories he covered were the 1965 Selma-Montgomery March, the Poor People's March in Washington and the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis in 1968, and the Detroit riots in 1967. His account of the Wisconsin civil rights movement was published as City With a Chance (1968). In Milwaukee he won four Milwaukee Press Club writing awards and two national awards for reporting on highway safety. For two years he was the editor of the Club's annual magazine, Once a Year.
In addition to his general reporting assignments Aukofer wrote regular columns about automobiles, an interest that continued as the syndicated column, “Keys to Wheels” and, later, as “DriveWays.” He served as president of the Washington Automotive Press Association in 1987-'88. Beginning in the 1960s, he also began an active free lance career that included working as the Milwaukee correspondent for Newsweek for two years and writing stories for the Elks Magazine, the Washington Post, the New York Herald-Tribune, Look, and Insight Magazine.
In 1970, then substituting as the Journal's assistant city editor, Aukofer was assigned to the paper's Washington, D.C. bureau. In 1989 he became chief of the bureau, replacing John W. Kole. Over 30 years in these positions he covered every aspect of government, including Congress, the Supreme Court, the White House, and national politics and political conventions. Stories on which he reported included Watergate, the impeachments of President William J. Clinton and Richard M. Nixon, the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court hearings, and the Iran-Contra hearings. In 1990 Aukofer was a part of the first Pentagon press pool to cover the military buildup in the Persian Gulf. In January, 1991 he returned to cover the war. Aukofer has interviewed Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Bill Clinton. In 1979 he won the National Press Club's award for newspaper reporting by a Washington correspondent. In 1993 he won the national Sigma Delta Chi Award for Washington correspondence for his coverage of government abuses. In 1986 Aukofer won Marquette's University Merit Award; in 1992 he won the College of Journalism's By-line Award.
Aukofer also covered stories in Mexico (1982) and Central America (1983). In 1985 the Journal sent him to Nicaragua to cover the trial of Eugene Hasenfus (1985). This coverage won Aukofer his paper's Richard S. Davis Prize and a Pulitzer Prize nomination.
From September, 1994, to June, 1995, Aukofer was a visiting scholar at The Freedom Forum First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University, studying the relationship between the military and the media. The product of this research, America's Team: the Odd Couple, was co-authored with William Lawrence, a retired vice admiral who had been a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for six years.
In addition, Aukofer has been active in numerous professional organizations. In 1978 he served as president of the National Press Club and from 1980 to 1985 he was president and chair of the National Press Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes achievement in journalism. As president of the NPC, he oversaw the effort to build a new Press Club building, and he hosted 52 news luncheons, sharing the dais with President Jimmy Carter and other world leaders. In 1974 he was elected to the panel of the Standing Committee of Correspondents of the U.S. Congress. He also served as a member of the board of the Washington chapter of Sigma Delta Chi. In 1992 he was elected to the exclusive Gridiron Club.
In 1960 Aukofer married Sharlene Talatzko. They became the parents of four children: Juliann Navarrete, Matthew P., Becky Hawryluk, and Joseph J. There are 10 grandchildren. Aukofer retired from the Journal Sentinel in 2000.
Scope and Content Note
The Aukofer Papers comprise three series: Biographical Information, General Correspondence, and Subject Files. The Biographical Information and the General Correspondence are chronologically arranged; the Subject Files are filed alphabetically. The Subject Files consist of additional correspondence, memoranda, background information, reporter's notebooks, videotapes, draft stories, freelance writings, and occasional clipped articles. The files concern specific assignments as well as various professional organizations with which Aukofer was associated.
The Biographical Material consists of newspaper clippings, press releases, and other information about Aukofer and his career.
Although the overall coverage is spotty, the General Correspondence provides a good picture of the professional and social life of a representative Washington correspondent. The majority of the correspondence is incoming, but there are occasional carbons of outgoing letters. Included is correspondence from the general public and prominent individuals such Russell Baker, Ben Barkin, Julian Bond, Ron Dellums, Tom Eagleton, Ted Kennedy, Terry Kohler, Dee Dee Myers, Vel Phillips, and William Proxmire. The majority of the letters from such notables are quite short, and primarily of autograph value, but some, such as one letter about Fort McCoy from F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., are long and detailed. (Memoranda exchanged with the editorial staff of the Journal is filed in the SUBJECT FILES and described below.) References to Melvin Laird, Gaylord Nelson, Clement Zablocki, and other congressional leaders hint at the close and friendly associations a capital correspondent develops. Many letters in the series are congratulations for various professional awards and career milestones, perhaps the most notable of which is the retirement cartoon from Art Wood. There are also occasional letters from personal friends and from professional associates, as well as letters from the editors of his free-lance work such as Morris Rubin and Erwin Knoll. During the 1990s the correspondence is dominated by letters and memoranda concerning Aukofer's association with The Freedom Forum and the Newseum and by arrangements for numerous military media days in which he participated. This series also contains a few frank items concerning the merger of the Journal and the Sentinel.
Perhaps the most valuable materials in the Subject Files are the letters and memoranda exchanged with Sig Gissler, Dick Leonard, Joe Shoquist, and other Journal executives. These range from comments about salary to suggestions for stories and complaints about the way in which particular stories were handled. Alone, they constitute almost one box of documentation. Unfortunately, many of these messages were communicated on unstable galley paper that had already faded before its receipt in the Archives. Although the memoranda (as well as some draft articles on similar paper) have been photocopied to halt their deterioration, researchers are warned that the copies are often difficult to read. Also filed with the memoranda are runs of a variety of internal newsletters that contain information about the editorial staff and the general history of the paper.
Writings incorporated in the Subject Files include scattered draft newspaper stories and clippings, freelance articles written for the Elks Magazine, Reader's Digest, and Newsweek, draft materials for a book on freedom of assembly and City with a Chance, and a printed copy of America's Team. (A printed copy of City with a Chance is available in the SHSW Library.) Information on this topic may also be found in correspondence with Larry Sternig, his literary agent. The series also includes several files about Aukofer's automobile specialization including press materials and artwork for the column “Keys to Wheels.” (One box of clipped articles about automobiles are with the unprocessed additions files). Also here are papers written as a student at Marquette University and many editorial critiques of copy submitted to the Marquette Tribune by other students.
Particularly important in this series is Aukofer's coverage of the Arthur Bremer and Eugene Hasenfus trials, the civil rights activities of Father James Groppi, the Gulf War, and Watergate. These files generally include reporter's notebooks, draft stories, and weeded research materials. The Bremer research file includes a photocopy of Bremer's manuscript diary and an artist's sketch of the trial. Among the Watergate materials is a file of memoranda issued by Wisconsin attorney William Dixon. The Gulf War files not only contain contemporary documentation but also information about Aukofer's postwar criticism of the manner in which the pool system had operated. This topic is also addressed in several interviews filmed at the Newseum that are in the collection, as well as in a recording of Aukofer's testimony to the Senate Committee that investigated the topic in 1991. Aukofer's award-winning coverage of the abuse of government perks is represented by a weeded sample of the detailed data he meticulously gathered about official travel.
Notes, which constitute a substantial part of the documentation in the Subject Files, vary in usefulness. They range from a transcribed interview with Russell Baker to easily readable typed notes about the Detroit race riot to numerous reporter's notebooks in which the information is handwritten and sketchy. Particularly notable are numerous books concerning his coverage of Watergate and notes on a 1971 prison interview with James Hoffa.
The Subject Files reflect Aukofer's frequent need to put a Wisconsin spin on the news of the nation's capital, and files about Les Aspin, Lawrence Eagleburger, Robert Froehlke, Robert Kastenmeier, Patrick J. Lucey, William Proxmire, William Rehnquist, Charles Robb, and Toby Roth reflect this regional perspective. The Wisconsin delegation is also documented by financial disclosure reports submitted during the 1980s.
The Subject Files also reflect Aukofer's leadership and participation in various professional organizations such as the National Press Club, the National Press Foundation, and the Standing Committee of Correspondents. (Other correspondence that pertained to Aukofer's official role as president of NPC is in the unprocessed additions.) Other prominent journalists represented in the collection include Henry Keys and Gary MacEoin.
