Show detail Hide detail

This series holds manuscripts, correspondence, reference material, photographs, and an audio recording relating to Lubor J. Zink's work in print and broadcast journalism in England and Canada. It holds a selection of typescript drafts of his editorials, columns, speeches, and broadcast scripts for the 1950s and 1960s. The latter material includes the regular features he contributed for Toronto radio and television titled "Preview Commentary", "Capital Report", and "Viewpoint" between 1962 and 1968. Files for his trips to Germany in 1963 and Asia in 1966 document his occasional work as a foreign correspondent for the "Telegram". The Asia file contains typescripts of his articles on the Vietnam war, a transcript of an interview with the Thailand foreign minister Thanat Khoman, and photographs of military manoeuvres and agricultural scenes in Vietnam. His file for Germany holds lists of interview questions and notes, and transcripts of interviews with cabinet ministers Ludwig Erhard and Dr. Kurt Pluck. The "Toronto Telegram" file holds correspondence with publisher John Bassett and editor-in-chief J. D. MacFarlane discussing the terms and conditions of his employment and the reporting he was doing for that newspaper. Awards files contain material relating to the National Newspaper Awards and the Bowater Awards for Journalism, the NCC Freedom Medal, and a short, descriptive autobiography Zink wrote for "Telegram" publicity purposes. There is a fictional treatment of his flight with other Czech refugess through the mountains to Bavaria in 1948. He also kept subject files on Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Pierre Trudeau.

The audio cassette contains recordings of questions and answers from three press conferences in Ottawa in 1971, 1980, and 1981. Zink questions Soviet premier Aleksey Kosygin on 20 October 1971 about Russian intervention in Hungary and Czechoslovakia; at a press conference with Pierre Trudeau on 8 November 1980, he asks about Canadian response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the status of Canada's friendship protocol with the Soviet Union; and on 18 December 1981 he asks Trudeau whether the declaration of martial law in Poland will affect Soviet-Canadian relations.
