{"value"=>"<p>This series is made up of alphabetical subject files that are organized (and titled) by topical keywords, institution names, geographic location, and <span class=\"title\">Times</span> departments and newspaper sections. The bulk of these files contain memoranda distributed among Topping's senior colleagues, including Arthur Gelb, John Pomfret, Sydney Gruson, Allan M. Siegal, Louis J. Silverstein, Max Frankel, and sometimes Executive Editor A.M. Rosenthal and Publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger. Memoranda reveal all manner of news department operations, mostly regarding staff assignments, news coverage, developing news stories, editorial processes, introductions of new features and special sections, space and layout issues, and staff meeting and luncheon notes. Several files, particularly those pertaining to specific columns or sections, feature readers' mail and complaints. While Topping's focus was on national, foreign, and New York City news, financial news is also particularly well documented.</p> <p>Of special note are the Enterprise Meetings files. The Enterprise Meetings were weekly meetings of editors designed to generate ideas, proposals, and coordination for special investigative projects. The meetings fostered story ideas across newspaper sections, irrespective of department lines. These files consist of follow-up reports on the Enterprise Meetings, memoranda on specific topics for stories, and rules and procedures for the projects. Also of interest are the National Edition memoranda regarding the planning, testing, and launching of the new edition in 1980.</p>"}
