Biographical Sketch

Ernest V. Joiner, born August 20, 1911 in Seymour, Texas, was an outspoken editor for a number of newspapers, such as the Ralls Banner (Texas), the Sebastopol Times (California), and the Lincoln County News (New Mexico). He graduated from Texas Technological College (now Texas Tech University) with a degree in Mass Communications and was a member of the Texas Tech Hall of Fame. Joiner's brand of editorial wit was always controversial, and he reached prominence due to his opinionated columns. The Joiner Papers will serve those interested in the life and times of one of the most outspoken editors of the United States.
