Description
Photography was a major focus for Guy Gannett and the Portland Press Herald, and would become one of the defining characteristics of his newspapers. While the practice of using pictures in newspapers was ubiquitous, Gannett utilized photography as news much more than his contemporaries. His photographers worked under the auspices of Gannett’s “Maine first” strategy, taking photos of everything relating to life in Maine, including extensive coverage of sporting events.
Ernest Newnham, member of the Maine Golf Hall of Fame, won the Maine Open at Portland Country Club in 1936.
