}}James M. Metcalf (May 11, 1920 – March 8, 1977) was a journalist for WWL-TV in New Orleans, Louisiana where he served as anchor/reporter. He later became the host of A Sunday Journal from 1973 until his death from cancer in 1977, which was considered a "class act" in bringing ordinary people and their hobbies and interests to television.[1] In 1975, Jim and his show were awarded the Peabody Award for "good writing, excellent photography, and artistic presentation." [2]

The Jim Metcalf Memorial Award was created in his honor, and is bestowed by the Press Club of New Orleans annually.[3]

He also wrote four volumes of poetry, one published posthumously, being described as "infatuated with words. He loved the language. He used it well." [4]
