Getting CHRISTIANITY TODAY to press on time with a content worthy of its almost quarter of a million press run is a precision effort. A skilled corps of evangelical writers, from Co-Editor Frank E. Gaebelein on down the ranks, fill editorial positions.
Readers will note the absence from the masthead of the name of Frank Farrell, who for seven years has ably covered conventions and edited the letters section. Almost every year his talents have been wanted elsewhere, and Washington weather (some foreign embassies call it a hardship area) entered into his decision to become adult editor for Gospel Light Publications in California. With him Dr. Farrell takes the best wishes and affection of the remaining staff. He will serve as our Los Angeles correspondent.
New on the masthead is the name of Richard N. Ostling. He will share coverage of outside events and backstop for News Editor David E. Kucharsky, whose UPI experience and sense of news values have given the church world a first-rate news section from which twenty or more radio programs borrow items fortnightly. Mr. Ostling holds the B.A. degree from the University of Michigan with high honors in journalism, and the M.S. from Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University. He has gained valuable experience on the state desk of the News-Journal papers in Wilmington, Delaware.
