Template:Use mdy dates Alan Bonnell Hathway (May 22, 1906 – April 15, 1977) was an editor at Newsday, a daily newspaper for the Long Island suburbs of New York City, from the early 1940s until 1970. He began as city editor, then became managing editor and eventually executive editor.[1] He was often characterized as an old-style newspaperman similar to those in the play The Front Page.[1][2][3]
In the 1930s and 1940s, Hathway was also a pulp fiction writer. He wrote several Doc Savage novels under the pseudonym Kenneth Robeson in the early 1940s.[4]
During Hathway's tenure as Managing Editor at Newsday, the future Pulitzer prize-winning author Robert Caro worked in his newsroom. In his memoir, Caro credited Hathway for being a major positive influence on his research practice, particularly for his advice to “Turn every page. Never assume anything. Turn every goddam page.”[5][6]
