Douglas Fisher Attaway, Jr., known as Doug Attaway (September 10, 1910 – February 21, 1994), was the president and publisher from 1957 to 1976 of the since defunct ''Shreveport Journal'', a daily newspaper in northwest Louisiana. He was chairman of the board of KSLA-TV, the Shreveport CBS affiliate from 1966 until the channel was sold in 1979 to Viacom. He was a former chairman of the board of Newspaper Production Company and the Attaway Newspaper Group, Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Douglas Fisher "Doug" Attaway, Jr. )〕
==Journalism career==
Born in Shreveport to ''The Journal'' publisher Douglas Attaway, Sr. (1878-1957), and the former Bessie Fisher (1884–1967), Attaway graduated from C.E. Byrd High School in Shreveport and held degrees in journalism and business from the University of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri. In 1934, he joined the staff of ''The Journal'' as an advertising proof runner. He became an ad salesman, assistant bookkeeper, reporter, and then managing editor in December 1941,〔John Andrew Prime, "Former Journal publisher dies at age 83", ''Shreveport Times", February 22, 1994〕 a position which he held until his father's death in 1957. Attaway succeeded his father as the president and publisher of ''The Journal'' and remained at the helm until the paper was sold in 1976.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shreveport Journal Collection (1921-1990) )〕 From 1953 to 1971, the conservative journalist George W. Shannon was the editor of ''The Journal''.
In 1972, Attaway wrote an article on a total eclipse, the phenomenon in which the moon totally blocks out the rays of the sun, which occurred on July 10 of that year. Attaway and his long-term photo editor, Jack Barham, traveled to New York City to observe the two-minute eclipse and located their most desirable point of view beyond the Verrazano Bridge in the Atlantic Ocean.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Douglas Attaway and Jack Barham, "Eclipse Splendor: Two Minutes of History," July 28, 1972 )〕
In 1974, two years before he sold ''The Journal'' to the industrialist and philanthropist Charles T. Beaird, Attaway recruited Stanley R. Tiner from ''The Times'' as the editor of ''The Journal''. In time, Tiner and Beaird moved the editorial position of ''The Journal'' far to the political left, whereas it had been conservative and earlier segregationist under Attaway.
