Journalist's Career Varies, Editor Says
A journalistic career may lead to "Washington Wandering" or "be-wildered brides" said Mrs. Marjorie Binford Woods, editor of Modern Bride magazine, at the annual Matrix table dinner of Theta Sigma Fhi, honorary professional fraternity for women in journalism, May 5.
The young journalist cannot predict what his specialty may be, she pointed out. Mrs. Woods believes "It just happens."
With the help of Ernie Pyle, Mrs Woods joined the one-year old Scripps-Howard Washington Daily News as shopping column editor. "On Friday the 13th within 13 minutes" Mrs. Woods had the job. Her first column of "Washington Wanderings" included 13 feature articles. Thirteen months elapsed before Mrs Woods left the paper to marry.
"You'll like having ink on your fingers" Mrs. Woods asserted at the dinner celebrating the 41st anniversary of the fraternity's founding.
Woods Mr. the teacher.
Mrs. Woods recommends that the student preparing for a job interview have pertinent information about himself, clippings, recommendations and a folio of his work.
Mrs. Woods started a bridal bureau for the William H. Block company, Indianapolis department store. After 7,000 weddings in three years she wrote "Your Wedding, How to Plan and Enjoy It." In 1949 she organized a staff for Modern Bride magazine for Ziff-Davis Publishing company, Chicago. A "complete book" for "bewildered brides" Mrs. Woods calls her Modern Bride magazine.
