Pacesetters in Corporate Journalism: International Harvester magazines–reaching readers through photojournalism is a 294 page book that gives insight to the editorial philosophy of the International Harvester magazines and firsthand knowledge as to how they operated. The book has reproduced pages from the magazines that are accompanied by background information on them by co-author Angus McDougall who was the associate editor and photographer for the magazines during the 1950s and 1960s.

The back cover blurb: “… The compelling, storytelling lessons learned by the International Harvester magazines are applicable to any media. Few corporate magazines connected with their readers like those produced by International Harvester in the 1950s and 1960s. With content that rivaled mainstream magazines like LIFE magazine, International Harvester World and IH Today took readers into the lives of International Harvesters employees from CEOs to factory workers, from behind the scenes at hard-nosed union negotiations to tender moments with employee loved ones. The magazines set standards for visual and corporate journalism. Under the direction of editors Gerald D. Hurley and Angus McDougall, International Harvester World and IH Today soon became pacesetters in corporate journalism. They became known for text that was tightly integrated with candid photography in clean, uncluttered layout. They set standards for visual journalism in their commitment to unbiased reporting.”
