Cleveland's Golden Age of Print

With memories as sharp as a stiff Lake Erie breeze, the frontline witnesses of Cleveland history reflect on the things they did to get the story. Featuring interviews with legendary reporter Doris O’Donnell, the author of Front Page Girl, this series of short documentaries chronicles a bygone era with ink-stained anecdotes from O’Donnell’s friends, colleagues and collaborators. Originally produced by Storytellers Media Group in conjunction with the Cleveland Police Historical Society & Museum, as part of the Emmy Award winning PBS series, Doris O’Donnell’s Cleveland, these episodes are now available on DVD and will be available for sale at each screening.

Back in the day, Doris knew all the top cops, including police chief George Matowitz, torso murder detective Peter Merylo, homicide chief David Kerr and prosecutor John T. Corrigan.
