Al McIntosh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al McIntosh was editor of the Rock County Star-Herald of Luverne, Minnesota.
Ken Burns included several WWII-era excerpts from McIntosh's weekly column in his documentary "The War". In an interview on the radio show Fresh Air, Burns claimed that McIntosh could have pursued a more prestigious journalistic career but chose to take the reins of a small-town newspaper. Burns also opined in the same interview that McIntosh would be the most important discovery his team made in the creation of the documentary.
