==Biography==
Jaffe spent his early life in Durham, North Carolina where his parents, Lithuanian immigrants, were shopkeepers. He attended Durham High School and Trinity College, the forerunner of Duke University. After U.S. Army service in World War I, he headed the Red Cross News Service, headquartered in Paris, and toured the Balkans reporting on postwar devastation.
He returned to the United States in 1920 to accept an offer to become editor of the Virginian-Pilot and held this post for thirty years until his death. He was a progressive force in state and local politics and won national recognition for his campaign against lynching.
A biography was published in 2002.
