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 July–August 1960 issue highlights agriculture, cultural fairs, and individual promotions within the Trust Territory.
A cover story describes cacao operations in Pohnpei District, presenting the crop as a potential economic resource. Reports also cover the Palau Fair, featuring exhibits and performances, and short updates from Saipan. An article by Dr. Lessa details fieldwork in Ulithi (Yap District), while another profile recounts the career of a newly qualified local professional. Lighter features include stories titled “The Hunter and the Lion,” “Sir Fool and His Slave,” and cafeteria scenes from the Pacific Islands Central School.
Individuals named include Dr. Lessa and Trust Territory officials overseeing agricultural projects. Institutions mentioned are the Department of Agriculture, the Palau Congress, PICS, and village councils in Kosrae and the Marshalls.
