  1910
First Editors Week Held


Walter Williams hosted Editors Week, a journalism celebration at the School filled with high-profile reporters and editors, panel sessions and a grand banquet. In 1911, the spring tradition became known as Journalism Week. The Missouri Writers Guild, founded in 1916 by Williams, had a strong presence at J-Week for decades.


Journalism Week participants gathered in Switzler Hall until 1920 (center photos) and included groups such as the Missouri Writers' Guild (top) and a women's journalism gathering (bottom).
