service journalism and talk about how the Pulitzer has inspired future projects. Staff ers from newspapers of any size will be encouraged and leave with tips for

good journalism that makes a diff erence.

The Post and is syndicated across the country, including in a number of S.C. newspapers. She received the Pulitzer Prize

for Commentary in 2010 for “her perceptive, often witty columns on an array of political and moral issues, gracefully

Henry F. Cauthen Sr.

1901-1977

Henry F. Cauthen was a journalist at three major South Carolina newspapers during his 44 year career, and one of his many contributions to his community was originating the name of the Midlands as a regional identifi er. Cauthen created the idea of the Midlands as the name for South Carolina’s central counties while he was editor of Th e State newspaper and promoted the concept during speeches in Aiken, Lancaster, Sumter, Orangeburg, Camden and Winnsboro. Th e name Midlands caught on, including use by the U. S. Weather Bureau and in Delta Airlines advertisements in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post. Th e phrase was used to recruit industry and for regional improvements such as an expanded airport. Th e grandson, son and nephew of Methodist ministers, Cauthen was born January 1, 1901, in Cheraw, but lived in Timmonsville, Kingstree, North Augusta, York, Walterboro, Georgetown, Darlington and Charleston while he was growing up. His father, who had been a newspaperman before his ordained ministry, encouraged him to become a journalist, and he started work at Th e News and Courier in Charleston at age 20, becoming telegraph news editor, state news editor and sports editor. Cauthen left Th e News and Courier in December 1935 to start a new Charleston newspaper along with his brother, John Cauthen, and brother-in-law, Frank Gilbreath, but Th e Star, which was a 24-page news-feature tabloid published on Sundays, failed quickly. Cauthen resumed daily newspaper reporting and editing at Th e Columbia Record in October 1936, becoming city editor and then managing editor for 15 years. As managing editor of Th e Record, Cauthen promoted interest in the Interstate highway system with a series of articles that raised awareness of the necessity for immediate preparation in the Palmetto State. Th e South Carolina Highway Department used his research to achieve enabling legislation for the state to join the Interstate system. Cauthen planned and edited a D-Day special edition of Th e Columbia Record a month before the event was known with a headline that said “Allies open invasion: strike across channel.” Cauthen had put his evening paper to bed in June of 1944 when the Normandy invasion began near midnight Columbia time.

Th e next day’s State had gone to press before the breaking news arrived, but the next morning Cauthen had an “extra” edition of the evening paper on the streets of Columbia. Cauthen succeeded George A. “Buck” Buchanan as editor of Th e State in 1961. When Columbia Mayor Lester L. Bates called leading citizens together to discuss the racial situation in 1962, Cauthen was one of 28 selected for a secret committee to work for desegregation. Th e same year, William D. Workman of Th e News and Courier, who had been defeated in the U. S. Senate race by Ernest “Fritz” Hollings, joined Th e State as an associate editor in 1962 and succeeded Cauthen as editor four years later. From 1966, Cauthen wrote comprehensive articles on South Carolina agriculture. Cauthen’s commitment to the cultural and civic aff airs of his community was integral both to his work and his interests. He held numerous appointments, engaged in extensive committee service and accompanied Columbia Mayor Lester Bates to West Berlin to represent the economic interests of the city. Although he could not read music and never sang in public, he loved singing operatic arias at home in a strong tenor voice that was so loud the neighbors complained. Cauthen died on October 23, 1977. In a rare, signed publisher’s editorial in Th e State on October 25, 1977, his friend and colleague Ambrose Hampton wrote, “His career as a newspaperman... was unique. Without formal training in journalism – indeed he never had the opportunity of attending college – he rose from reporter to sports editor to managing editor and ultimately to editor. Although his newspaper work began in Charleston, most of it took place in Columbia... Mr. Cauthen’s achievements in journalism were due to a natural command of the English language, a searching mind, and a true genius for dealing with people... But he will be remembered most for a strength of character combined with a sense of humanity which made him both a gentleman and a gentle man.” Cauthen married Sarah Elizabeth Norris from Calhoun Falls in 1939, and they had two children: Henry F. Cauthen Jr. and Sarah Cauthen Stepp; four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Fame

“As a superb craftsman, he asked of himself and others an unerring accuracy in the journalism of fact. As a Renaissance thinker, he pursued truth and wisdom with meticulous diligence in the journalism of opinion.” – Editorial, Th e Columbia Record, 1977
