J. Douglas MacFarlane was master of the headline news and the splash of the front page. MacFarlane's illustrious career spanned 50 years, and included time at the four Toronto dailies, most notably The Telegram, where his command of the newsroom is most remembered. Overseas during World War II, as managing editor of the Canadian Army newspaper, The Maple Leaf, JDM was never far from the news and notoriety. And as head of Ryerson's (now Toronto Metropolitan University) School of Journalism, MacFarlane imparted a living legacy of professionalism to many of today's leading Canadian journalists.
