After Max's death in 1972, Miriam took over as editor and publisher.

Max founded and ran an advertising agency which handled publicity for gubernatorial, congressional, and senatorial candidates. In 1943 he bought the Intermountain Jewish News, which had been established in 1913 and had passed through a succession of owners, for the purchase price of one dollar. He brought in a partner to bolster the financially unstable paper, and successfully revamped it both financially and editorially.

On February 12, 1936, she married Max Goldberg, a columnist for The Denver Post.
