Abstract:
Papers documenting the career of Arville Schaleben, who worked for The Milwaukee Journal from 1935 to 1972 as reporter, managing editor, and vice-president at the time of his retirement. In 1935 Schaleben accompanied Wisconsin and Minnesota citizens colonizing federal lands in Alaska's Matanuska Valley, a New Deal relief project. The resulting series of articles cemented his reputation as a journalist. Schaleben was the author of Your Future in Journalism (1961); his special interests included journalism education, news research, and the newspaper's role in a democracy.
