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]].<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 from ''The Shreveport Journal''|accessdate=June 13, 2012}}</ref>

In 1974, two years before he sold ''The Journal'', Attaway recruited Stanley Ray Tiner from ''The Times'' as the editor of ''The Journal''. In time, Tiner, a [[liberal]] [[Democratic Party|Democrat]], and Charles Beaird, a [[Moderate Republican]], moved the editorial position of ''The Journal'' far to the political left, whereas it had been conservative and even earlier segregationist under Attaway's tutelage.
