r 4 -* ■-* * i ' 1 League's Newspaper Career Began At Clinton High School BY BOB KEATON <> USC Journalist Student * Taking over a 52-year-old weekly newspaper and build ing it into an award-winning publication can be quite a igian-size job. * Paul League, a native of Clinton, began this job in 1955 •When he took over as editor- published of The Journal and Tribune of Seneca. ^League’s Seneca publication has won more state press Awards than any other news paper in South Carolina. It currently holds the General Excellence Cup for weeklies. 1 In addition to his publica tion’s awards, League him self now holds the title of “South Carolina Newspaper man of the Year.” League received the award from Sig ma Delta Chi, professional journalistic society at the University of South Carolina, in October during National t Newspaper Week. As editor-publisher, League -writes news, all editorials, all sports, takes photographs, handles some advertising ac counts, and is business man ager for his publications. His writing staff for The Journal Consists of three others, and he has seven employees in the mechanical department. In addition to the Seneca publication, League is also editor-publisher of The Clem- son Messenger, which he founded in 1956. i “I got interested in jour nalism through working on !The Sentinel of Clinton High and from reading an awful lot,” League said. He had a lot of time to read and try ! to write during the depression days on the farm in Clinton. League graduated from the University of South Carolina school of journalis'm in 1941. While in school, he was editor of the student newspaper.. League worked in the news room for The Charlotte Ob- j server for a year after college. In the Navy during World War II, he participated in the in vasion of North Africa, Skily, and Southern Europe. “I always had in mind that I wanted to have my own operation and realizing that I needed to know both sides of a newspaper, I went hack to work in the advertising department with The Char- i || m \ mm m m < : ...•Xnv.; <•- TOP NEWSMAN—Clinton native Paul League is shown receiving plaque as South Carolina’s ‘Newsman of The Year/ At left is Tom Mayes, president of the student Sigma Delta Chi chapter at the University of South Carolina. lotte Observer after the war,” League stated. League also worked on The Winter Haven (Fla.) News, and from 1949-54 he was re tail advertising manager of The Rock Hill Evening Herald. League decided to go into weekly newspaper publica tion because “there are very few opportunities for owner ship in dailies.” Commenting on trying to cover Oconee County with The Journal, League said, “That’s enough, I’m not interested in anything else.” Even that is n<>t dull, as the Clinton native said, “I’ve had a lot of threats. Politics are rough in Oconee County.” League is married and has five children.
