Micronesian Reporter 1962 V10 01. Micronesian Reporter (Report). Hagåtña, Guam: Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. January 1962. p. 32.

Abstract: Beginning in 1951, the Headquarters for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) regularly published a magazine that detailed its work in the region. From 1951 through the first issue of 1956, the magazine was known as the Micronesian Monthly; from the second issue of 1956 through the end of the run in 1980, it was known as the Micronesian Reporter. From 1951 through December 1967, publication cycles varied: For the most part, the magazine was produced monthly, though certain issues cover two or more months. Starting in 1968, the magazine was formally shifted to a quarterly publication cycle, which continued through the first quarter of 1980, when publication ceased.

The January–February 1962 issue introduces new contributors from each district and highlights regional exchanges in health and education.

A cover feature shows delegates from Yap en route to a seminar in Samoa, with commentary on how local leaders were beginning to participate in broader Pacific networks. Reports include health initiatives in Chuuk, school programs in Palau, and literacy campaigns in Pohnpei and the Marshalls. Additional stories describe journalism projects at Rota Intermediate School and community efforts at Majuro and Kosrae.

Individuals named include Carmen Chigiy and Carmen Mutnguy (Yap), Nick Bossy (Chuuk), Laurence K. Anderson (Palau), Harold L. Forester (Pohnpei), and Tiprikrik Samuel (Marshalls). Institutions mentioned are the district journalism programs, the Trust Territory Department of Education, and Pacific regional seminar organizers.
