William Stevenson, in the period covered by these papers, pursued two careers: that of journalist and that of author. As the first he would work for several companies at once. As a foreign correspondent employed by Near and Far East News (Asia) Ltd., for example, he also submitted reports to the Canadian Broadcasting Company (C.B.C.) and the Toronto Telegram. At the same time he wrote books, one of which, The Yellow Wind concerning revolution in China, we lack papers relating to. At the end of Mr. Stevenson's time as foreign correspondent he took up a career in Canada for the C.B.C. He continued to travel to exotic and exciting places, however, often simultaneously researching material for the show he produced, "Tuesday Night" and gathering data to incorporate in his many books. Because of the dual nature of Mr. Stevenson's work, oftentimes papers, particularly correspondence, relate to both careers. Thus for any single aspect of Mr. Stevenson's work one must often examine all the papers related to the same time period. In light of this, the papers are arranged chronologically (insofar as this is possible) according to the type of career pursued by Mr. Stevenson. Papers concerning his sideline career as lecturer and his personal life are included at the end.
