Macy "Mace" Broide died Dec. 22, 2017. At 17 years old, Broide arrived at IU shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor, which had a significant impact on the trajectory of his education, as he details in a memory honoring the former School of Journalism’s centennial. Broide got involved with the Indiana Daily Student as a freshman, working his way up to editor-in-chief of the paper.

His studies were temporarily interrupted as he was drafted to the war, where he worked as a war correspondent. He returned a decorated combat veteran, having earned silver and bronze stars for his combat reporting. After graduating in 1947, he was a political writer and TV newscaster for Scripps Howard in Evansville, Indiana. He later moved to Washington, D.C., to work as a campaign manager and aide for Sen. Vance Hartke of Indiana. After 10 years as a public affairs consultant, he returned to Capitol Hill as chief of staff of the House Budget Committee. His wife, Gloria Goldsholl Broide, ’47, also was a journalism student. She died in November 2009.
