Society reporting

"Doings in Pittsburg Society," the society page of The Pittsburg Press, on February 1, 1920
This 1921 clipping, with story and drawings by St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Marguerite Martyn, represents the saturation newspaper coverage given to fashionable society women at the Veiled Prophet Ball in that city.

In journalism, the society page of a newspaper is largely or entirely devoted to the social and cultural events and gossip of the location covered. Other features that frequently appear on the society page are a calendar of charity events and pictures of locally, nationally and internationally famous people. Society pages expanded to become women's page sections.
