Biographical Sketch

A transplanted Brooklynite and alumnus of New York University, the National Academy of Design, and the Art Students League, Goodman (b. 1913) joined the Salt Lake City radio station KALL in 1947. A former staffer of The New York Post and WNYC radio in New York City, he soon became a stringer (regional correspondent) for Newsweek. While still working for KALL, he also became a travel writer for The New York Times and reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune-Telegram. During the 1950s he wrote two weekly columns for the Salt Lake Tribune,"Know Your Legislator" and "Nothing Serious." He continued his position as a stringer and prepared travel reviews for the Salt Lake Tribune that were then released to The New York Times. His career later took him into television (KUTV in Salt Lake City) and advertising. In the late 1960s he retired to devote his time to freelance writing. His efforts produced several books, many book reviews, newspaper feature stories, and magazine articles, including several stories for The Saturday Evening Post. In 1984 he came out of retirement, returning to The Salt Lake Tribune to write a weekly column, "City View." Access to "City View" and Goodman's other Salt Lake Tribune writings is available in the Western Americana Division of the Marriott Library.
