These files touch on almost every aspect of the operations of the News Department, from news coverage and editorial decision making, to the appearance and mechanical production of the paper. Present are Bernstein's frequent communications with editors E. Clifton Daniel, John B. Oakes, Turner Catledge, and Harrison Salisbury, and with publishers Orvil Dryfoos, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, and Arthur Ochs Sulzberger. These consist of discussions related to personnel, staff member performance, promotions, and retirements. The series also contains Bernstein's exchanges with specific departments, including the Cultural News, Make-Up Desk, Picture Desk, Science News, Sports News, and the Sunday Department.
