Kenneth
Last name
MacDonald
Kenneth MacDonald worked at the [Des Moines Register] for 50 years, starting at the age of 21. In 1926, MacDonald, a journalism graduate from the University of Iowa, came to see William Waymack, who was the managing editor. There was some mistrust of journalism graduates by the old guard, and Waymack didn’t give MacDonald much hope for a job, but he did mention that the news editor could use a copyreader. MacDonald walked out of Waymack’s office, into the newsroom and told the news editor he was ready to start.
