Description
Full title:Mary Kitano from Manzanar works for City New Service in Los Angeles. Holding the paper is Betty Lyou, Korean; next to her, her husband, Rodney Voight, manager of City News Service, a Caucasian; then Miss Fusako Takemoto and Miss Mary Kitano, both Nisei. Mary Kitano just received a $25 check from Readers Digest for a picturesque patter item, and also has a commission to write for Now magazine. City News Service has 15 reporters, covering metropolitan Los Angeles for nearby small-city papers. Mary reads and finds news items in over 100 papers. She was hired over the telephone even before a personal interview, and brought her chum, Fusako Takemoto (never in a Center), who was hired too. The City News staff is cosmopolitan. A Chinese rewrite man and three Russian girls also work there. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Los Angeles, California.
