Changes

In 1974, two years before he sold ''The Journal'' to the Shreveport industrialist and philanthropist Charles T. Beaird, Attaway recruited Stanley R. Tiner from ''The Times'' to become the editor of ''The Journal''. In time, Tiner, who was born in Webster Parish, reared in Shreveport, and a graduate of [[Louisiana Tech University]] in Ruston, and Beaird, who served a term as a [[Republican]] on the former Caddo Parish Police Jury, moved the editorial position of ''The Journal'' far to the political left, whereas it had been clearly [[conservative]] and earlier [[segregation]]ist under Attaway and a previous editor, George W. Shannon.<ref>{{cite news|title=Tiner announces candidacy for post representing District 4|work=Minden Press-Herald (Minden, Louisiana)|date=December 15, 1987|page=10}}</ref>

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, who continued in that position under Beaird, traveled to [[New York City]] to observe the two-minute eclipse, having found their desirable spot of view under the Verrazano Bridge<ref>.{{cite web|url=http://www.nauticom.net/www/planet/files/EclipseHistory-Shreveport.html|title=Douglas Attaway and Jack Barham, "Eclipse Splendor: Two Minutes of History," July 28, 1972|publisher=nauticom.net|accessdate=June 13, 2012}}</ref>
