INTRODUCTION
The papers of Malvina Stephenson contain the professional papers of a journalist
who spent most of her career covering politics in Washington, D.C. The collection includes story and subject files, scrapbooks of articles and columns, research for a biography on Senator Robert S. Kerr, scripts for radio news reports, and other personal and professional material.
DONOR INFORMATION
The papers were donated to the University of Missouri by Malvina
Stephenson on 22 November 1991 (Accession No. 5120). An addition to the collection was made by Marsha Franklin on 20 May
1996 (Accession No. 5617).
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
Mary Malvina Stephenson
was born on October 17, 1911 in Paris, Texas. Her parents were Robert E. Stephenson and Allie Malvina King. The family lived in Hugo, Oklahoma, where Stephenson's father practiced law. In 1926, the family moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Three years later Malvina Stephenson graduated from Sapulpa High School, where she had been editor of the school's newspaper.
Stephenson attended Southeastern State Teachers College (now Southeastern Oklahoma State University) in Durant, graduating
with an associate's degree in history in 1932. She taught for three years before returning to school at the University of Oklahoma,
where she earned her master's degree in journalism in 1936. After graduation, Stephenson landed a job at the Tulsa World, where
she was the only woman working at the city desk.
In 1940, Stephenson moved to Washington, D.C. to launch a one-woman news bureau. She quickly became a regular political
correspondent for a number of newspapers, such as the Daily Oklahoman, Cincinnati Times-Star, and the Kansas City Star, along
with the Tulsa World and Tulsa Tribune. She also contributed stories to King Features Syndicate and the North American
Newspaper Alliance (NANA) news service. In addition, she reported for the West Virginia Network's weekly radio program.
From 1951 to 1963, Stephenson worked as press secretary for Senator Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma. She co-edited his book Land,
Wood and Water, which was published in 1960. After the senator's death in 1963, Stephenson did freelance work and resumed
contributing stories to the Tulsa World. In 1969, Stephenson and Vera Glaser formed the first female political columnist team when
they began writing "Washington Offbeat." During the mid-1970s, they also covered politics for WTOP News in Washington, doing
radio news reports based on their columns. During the 1980s, Stephenson began writing a regular op-ed column for the Tulsa
World.
Stephenson was named to the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame in 1990. The next year she returned to Oklahoma permanently.
She published a biography on Senator Robert Kerr in 1995. In memory of her parents, Stephenson established a scholarship fund at the University of Oklahoma for students interested in pursuing political journalism. She died on February 16, 1996.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The Malvina Stephenson Papers contain the professional papers of an Oklahoma journalist who spent most of her career covering politics in Washington, D.C. The collection has been arranged into the following four series:
The Story and Subject Files series consists of material related to many of Stephenson's news articles. Most files contain notes
or drafts for stories, although some files only contain resource material. The series has been arranged alphabetically.
The Professional series mainly contains articles and news reports, along with material pertaining to Stephenson's biography of
Senator Robert S. Kerr. The miscellaneous material includes an audio disc from a 1972 Washington Press Club event, "A Night in
Peking." The series has been arranged alphabetically.
The Personal series includes Stephenson's Master's thesis and a small amount of correspondence, as well as obituaries and
memorial service material, including a video cassette of the memorial service. The miscellaneous material includes a video cassette
of a group oral history interview Stephenson participated in concerning the Eleanor Roosevelt press conferences. The series has
been arranged alphabetically.
The Scrapbooks series documents Stephenson's career as a journalist and largely contains newspaper clippings of
Stephenson's stories. All but the first scrapbook in the series are devoted to either Stephenson and Glaser's "Washington Offbeat"
column (sometimes called "Offbeat Washington") or Stephenson's articles and op-ed pieces written for the Tulsa World. The series
has been arranged alphabetically by subject and then chronologically.
More of Malvina Stephenson's papers can be found in two different collections located at the University of Oklahoma. Housed at the Carl Albert Center Congressional Archives, the Malvina Stephenson Collection mainly concerns her work as press secretary for Senator Robert S. Kerr. The Gaylord Library Special Collections at the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication holds another Stephenson collection, which contains books from her personal collection and more of her story and subject files.
In addition, the Sapulpa Historical Society holds Malvina Stephenson's desk and chair, as well as photographs and other personal items. Interested researchers should contact the Sapulpa Historical Society to make an appointment.
