Word came today of the death of Dick Cottam, who for many years broadcast from this booth at the back of the newsroom at The Columbia Daily Tribune, at 7th & Cherry Streets in Columbia, Mo. Reading the news is Eric Engberg, later of CBS News Cottam was the first radio guy I ever met in person, when I was a tiny kid and he was covering the Cosmopolitan Club's annual Pancake Day. Engberg replaced Cottam as news director when Cottam went to NBC.

I took this picture in the old newsroom, Columbia (Mo.) Daily Tribune, mid-1960s. My father, Gene Powell, was a much-loved reporter and photographer.

In 1981, WOR-AM in New York was the number one radio station in the country. A lot of it had to do with the newsroom (I say somewhat immodestly; I was morning drive editor and a street reporter there at the time). This view of the newsroom features sports reporter Don Criqui, seated, and New York radio news legend Lester Smith. Leica M-4, 35mm Summicron, Tri-X, Microdol-X 1:3
