Daily News | James Smart, former newspaper reporter and columnist, author, historian, and media and communications specialist, died at 91
Born April 27, 1930, in Kensington, Mr. Smart was encouraged to consume classic literature and newspapers by his father, a prodigious reader himself. He became the editor of the Megaphone, the school newspaper at Northeast High School — then located at Eighth and Lehigh — wrote articles for the Bulletin’s kids section and sold freelance stories to magazines.
Longtime columnist Earl Selby became the paper’s city editor in 1959, and Mr. Smart, by then an award-winning reporter, replaced Selby, changed the focus of “In Our Town” from investigations and politics to human interest, and went on to write the column until he resigned from the paper in 1973. He worked with and then married graphic designer Barbara Torode in 1977, and they lived in Center City and Mount Airy until she died in 2019.
