Scope and content
In April of 1938 Neill Meany, 14-year-old budding reporter, reviewed with his father Richard one of 136 consecutive Family News newspapers that he had written, illustrated and published since August 21, 1935. The weekly newsletter covered everyday events of the family of seven. It had a circulation of one, Mr. Meany, who paid his son 6 cents each Friday for the paper and then passed it around to the rest of the family. Neill Meany went on to become a Jesuit Priest. He taught Greek, Latin and French for several years at Bellarmine H.S. where he was the advisor for the student newspaper. (T. Times 4/20/1938, pg. 20)
