“We decided to move the induction ceremony to an evening event this  year because of the 55th anniversary and the large number of honorees  this year,” said Director Joe Hight, who is also UCO’s Edith Kinney  Gaylord Endowed Chair of Journalism Ethics and an OJHF member since  2013. “As with the 50th anniversary, we wanted to make this one a  special while focusing on the journalists who have excelled both in this  state and the country. This year’s honorees are exceptional in many  ways.


All 24 honorees will become members of the Oklahoma Journalism Hall  of Fame, which now has inducted more than 525 members since its  beginning.

They were chosen from among more than 100 nominations submitted to  the hall of fame. They were first selected by a 15-member Finalist  Committee and then a 12-member Selection Committee via a balloting  process. All on the committees were hall of fame members and  representatives of diverse types of media and journalism organizations.

Special 55th Anniversary Posthumous Class


FREDERICK BARDE (1869-1916) helped establish journalism as a profession in Oklahoma Territory and  early Oklahoma statehood from 1894 until 1916. He wrote as a “stringer”  in Guthrie from 1894 until 1910. He wrote for publications such as the Oklahoma City Times, Sturm’s Magazine, The Daily Oklahoman, New York Sun and Philadelphia Ledger. Barde was considered “the dean of Oklahoma journalism” at the turn of  the 20th century. He wrote on Oklahoma and Indian territories and the  statehood movement. He dabbled in writing poetry but is best known as  the author of Field, Forest, and Stream in Oklahoma (1912) and Outdoor Oklahoma (1914). In 1917, the state Legislature authorized $5,000 to purchase  his papers and photographs, now at the Oklahoma Historical Society in  Oklahoma City.


NOLEN BULLOCH (1906-1971) was a political and criminal reporter for the Tulsa Tribune. He typified the fearless spirit, the crusading drive and absolute  integrity. The Tulsa city commission adopted a resolution praising  Bulloch’s “outstanding ability and service as a newspaper reporter.”  KTUL-TV (Tulsa) aired a feature profile of Bulloch in which he told  viewers that “the truth is a reporter’s greatest reward.” Also, a  fighter for the rights of others, Bulloch wrote an article on “Kansas  City Fats.” Kansas City Fats was a McAlester prison inmate. He had been  sentenced to life for armed robbery for a 15-cent Tulsa robbery. Largely  due to Bulloch’s efforts, Kansas City Fats (whose real name was George  O. Jones) became a free man with a productive life.


LOUISA McCUNE (1970-2024) was first and foremost a journalist. A 1988 Enid High School graduate,  she earned her bachelor’s degree from San Francisco State University in  1992. Louisa began as a general assignment reporter for her hometown  newspaper, the Enid News & Eagle in 1994. She became editor  of the Oklahoma Today Magazine in 1997. Initially, she had accepted an  advertising position with that publication. Earlier, she wrote for  several prominent New York magazines and used that experience to make  the Oklahoma Today editorial content “sparkle.” She planned  themes and recruited writers who could produce what she envisioned. She  joined the Kirkpatrick Foundation in 2011 as executive director and in  2013 founded ArtDesk, a quarterly publication.


DAYLE McGAHA (1934-2023) served as publisher of the Blackwell Journal-Tribune for 20 years and held various positions during his decades-long career.  He was proudest of having the unofficial job title of “mentor” to young  journalists and in helping women obtain leadership roles. He started as  the newspaper’s mailroom attendant and also worked in the classified  advertising department. After college and the U.S. Army, he returned to  the Journal-Tribune. He worked briefly at the McAlester and  Pryor newspapers, before permanently staying in Blackwell. He was  advertising manager until publisher Warren Bickford III died in 1980. He  was then named general manager and later publisher, a position he held  until retirement in 2000. McGaha’s primary focus was to support the  Blackwell community with quality news and information.


JOHNNY McMAHAN (1957-2024) arrived in Woodward at the Woodward Daily Press in 1979, just three weeks after graduating from Central State  University. McMahan was a photographer, news editor and sports editor  until his death. In 1985, the Woodward Daily Press became the Woodward News.  He helped guide the hometown paper through changes in technology,  political upheaval and cultural changes. With rarely seen commitment, he  met challenges that included putting out a newspaper with no  electricity, the 2012 tornado and the fires of 2017 and 2018. McMahan’s  awards for journalism include news, sports and photography, while  simultaneously leading his team to numerous awards over the years,  including the Sequoyah Award. He was inducted into the Woodward Hall of  Fame during the 101 Classic Bowl in June 2021.


ORA EDDLEMAN REED (1880-1968) grew up in the newsroom noting, “There is nothing like a newspaper  newsroom to give you a well-rounded education.” She attended Kendall  College, later the University of Tulsa. Her family bought the Muskogee Morning Times and the Twin Territories: The Indian Magazine in 1898. She wrote of  white people who arrived in the late 1880s and the Indian people  struggling to make sense of this new world. Her fiction work under the  name Mignon Schreiber — “little writer” — found its themes, characters  and tensions in the coming together of cultures. She was remembered in a  Muskogee Daily Phoenix column for recording Indian history at the turn of the 20th century, a time of great transition in Indian Territory.


LOUISE EARTHMAN RUCKS (1904-1990) was known for her weekly column “Hound Hill” that was published in The Daily Oklahoman for 36 years. A story in The Oklahoman featured “Kue,” her nickname. Rucks’ work was recognized when she was  named National Dog Writer of the Year by the Dog Writers Association of  America in the 1950s at the Waldorf Astoria the night before the  Westminster Dog Show. She also wrote for ZOO Sounds, a publication of  the Oklahoma City Zoo. In addition, as a young woman she was a  registered nurse, having received her degree from St. Thomas/Vanderbilt  University Hospitals in Nashville.


ELLIE SUTTER (1933 – 2020) was a dedicated and enthusiastic reporter who put her all into every  story she wrote from biggest to smallest. Her print news career began in  1977 at the Billings Gazette and then The Norman Transcript. In 1983, she joined The Oklahoman and stayed for “22 years, 7 months and 12 days,” retiring in 2004. She  reported on many events of historical significance, including the  Oklahoma City bombing and tornado outbreaks. She was the only reporting  byline on the front page of The Oklahoman’s extra edition on the Edmond  post office massacre in 1986. One of her passions was the Gridiron Club,  where she enjoyed poking fun at the famous and infamous alike — for a  good cause.


JACK STAMPER (1918-2009) received a call on Oct. 1, 1951, from his former OU Journalism School  classmates, J. Leland Gourley and Charles Engleman, to become their  partner in the acquisition of the Hugo Daily News and become  its publisher. A decade later, he and his wife, Marie, bought out the  partners and continued to grow their newspaper footprint through  acquisition of The Antlers American and the McCurtain Gazette in Idabel. Stamper was appointed by Gov. David Boren to the Oklahoma  Wildlife Commission and served as director of the Department of  Charities and Corrections as it morphed into the Department of  Corrections. Throughout his career, he supported journalism initiatives  through OU and the Oklahoma Press Association.


BILL TEEGINS (1952-2001) parlayed his intense interest in sports into an award-winning  journalism career. After starting in Amarillo, Texas, where he did both  news and sports, Bill returned to his hometown of Tulsa as the sports  director of KOTV 6 in 1981. Bill moved to Oklahoma City in 1987 as KWTV 9  sports director where he was named Sports Director of the Year for  seven years by the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters. Bill also was  the radio play-by-play voice of Oklahoma State University football and  basketball games from 1990-2001 until his untimely death in a plane  crash returning from an OSU basketball game. He was inducted into the  Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2002 and the  Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.


Lifetime Achievement Award: The Ogle Family


JACK OGLE (1930-1999) started in Norman radio in the 1950s and joined WKY-TV 4 in 1963 as a  reporter and anchor. Simultaneously, he was the color commentator for  University of Oklahoma football from 1961 to 1973 and Oklahoma State  University football from 1974-1980 along with Bob Barry Sr. (an Oklahoma  Journalism Hall of Fame member). Jack Ogle retired from day-to-day  reporting in 1978 and for the next 12 years he produced commentaries, “A  Real Oklahoman” for WKY-TV 4, KOCO-TV 5 and KWTV-TV 9 in Oklahoma City.  Jack dominated the TV ratings for years and retired to eastern Oklahoma  in 1990. Jack died in October 1999.


KEVIN OGLE (1958- ) is the oldest son of Jack Ogle.  After college at Kansas State and OSU, Kevin worked in the newsrooms at  KSWO-TV 7 in Lawton, OK, KFSM-TV in Fort Smith, Ark., and for the past  27 years has been the principal anchor at KFOR-TV 4 in Oklahoma City.


KENT OGLE (1960- ) is the middle son of Jack Ogle.  Kent attended Central State University and then followed the tradition  of his father Jack and brother Kevin with early career stints in local  radio and then OETA. Kent joined KFOR-TV 4 in 1994 where he has anchored  the morning news program for 30 years.


KELLY OGLE (1961- ) is the youngest son of Jack  Ogle. Kelly graduated from OSU in 1984 and then worked for three years  at WKY Radio, a year at OETA, a year at KFOR-TV and from 1990 to 2022  was the principal anchor at KWTV 9 in Oklahoma City. Kelly currently  teaches broadcast journalism at Oklahoma State University.

Leslie Briggs joins the Reporters Committee as Local Legal Initiative attorney in Oklahoma

The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press announced Leslie Briggs as its Oklahoma Local Legal Initiative staff attorney, adding capacity to the program that operates in five states providing dedicated pro bono legal support for local enterprise and investigative reporting.


“We’re thrilled to welcome Leslie Briggs to the Reporters Committee and to the Local Legal Initiative,” said Reporters Committee Vice President of Legal Lisa Zycherman. “Her depth of experience as a  litigator in Oklahoma will help us meet the growing need in the state for legal support for local journalists and  newsrooms, especially those who are members of and covering the dozens  of federally recognized tribes in the state.”


A Tulsa native, Briggs joins the Reporters Committee from the Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law & Justice, a nonprofit that fights for justice and opportunity for all Oklahomans, where she served as its legal director. In that role, Briggs developed legal strategies challenging the deprivation of constitutional rights for LGBTQ+ public school students, curbing breaches to the separation of church and state by the executive branch, freeing unfairly  incarcerated survivors of domestic violence, and reshaping the criminal competency restoration system in the state of Oklahoma. She also worked on legislation reforming the criminal justice system, including the successful passage of SB1835, the Oklahoma Survivors’ Act, and co-hosted the Anthem award-winning podcast, Panic Button.


“I’m excited to join the team at the Reporters Committee, and work  with the journalists and newsrooms who are telling the important stories that Oklahomans care most about,” Briggs said.


Now in its sixth year, the Local Legal Initiative currently operates in five states — Colorado, Indiana, Oklahoma,  Pennsylvania, and Tennessee — to help local journalists and news organizations defend their rights to gather and  report the news, gain access to public records and court proceedings, and hold state and local government agencies and officials accountable.


Since the launch of the Oklahoma Local Legal Initiative in 2020, Reporters Committee attorneys have represented local journalists and newsrooms in a variety of litigation matters, including cases involving access to 911 call recordings, COVID-19 data, tribal government records, and more.

Reporters Committee attorneys helped the McCurtain Gazette access police body-worn camera footage related to the death of a Choctaw Nation citizen after a confrontation with police. The New Yorker later highlighted the Reporters Committee’s support in a story documenting the Gazette’s efforts to hold the local sheriff’s department accountable — and the threats its reporters faced for doing so.


And through a successful lawsuit on behalf of The Frontier, Reporters  Committee attorneys obtained access to jail surveillance footage, incident reports, and other records that revealed new information about the 2019 death of a Kiowa Tribe member following a violent struggle with jailers. 

Outside of litigation, Reporters Committee attorneys have provided pre-publication review assistance to local journalists and news organizations, including the filmmakers of “Bad Press,” a documentary film chronicling the long fight for a free press on the Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation in Oklahoma. They have also compiled a guide that helps journalists navigate     press freedom and information access in Oklahoma’s federally recognized tribes.
