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 September–October 1962 issue highlights political developments, disaster response, and education milestones.
The lead story reports on the awarding of a plaque of appreciation to an American supporter of the islands. Coverage includes the chartering of Noma Municipality, re-election of Tosiwo Nakayama as president of a local body, and establishment of the Council of Micronesia. Reports also describe typhoon damage, Federal Disaster Assistance, and cooperation from an Air Force reconnaissance squad. The first Trust Territory flag is introduced during this period. Additional pieces note the abandonment of the M/V Tematapula at sea and the convening of an educators’ conference.
Other highlights include the opening of Majuro Hospital, the graduation of nurses from new programs, and profiles of Micronesians pursuing higher studies, including one entering Yale University Law School. Institutions mentioned are the Council of Micronesia, the Trust Territory School of Nursing, and district governments across Pohnpei, Chuuk, and Yap.
