Ernie Pyle, America’s most famous World War II correspondent and former IDS editor-in-chief,
died 65 years ago Sunday on the tiny island of Ie Shima, off the coast
of Okinawa in the Pacific.
Pyle served as IDS editor-in-chief in fall 1922. His desk currently rests in the IDS newsroom, and its front drawer is signed by every IDS editor-in-chief after his or her term is finished.
The IDS newsroom is located on the first floor of Ernie Pyle Hall, which also houses the IU School of Journalism.
