New York times, May 25 1996 (Joseph Mitchell; born July 27, 1908 near Iona, North Carolina; died May 24, 1996, Manhattan, New York, aged 87; Joseph Mitchell, whose stories about ordinary people created extraordinary journalism in the pages of The New Yorker, died of cancer yesterday at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan; Mr. Mitchell arrived [at the New Yorker] when the magazine's editor, Harold Ross, was giving its top nonfiction writers, among them St. Clair McKelway, A.J. Liebling and Philip Hamburger, more space and time than was available to reporters of the day. The New Yorker writers used their good fortune to advantage. In stories, "Profiles" and "Reporter at Large" articles, Mr. Mitchell helped to pioneer a special kind of reportage, setting standards to which later generations of reporters would aspire.)
