That time I helped conceive of a better way to hold a presidential forum and led a team that wrote the anchor intros, questions, and on-screen text.
I edited the voiceover for this documentary feature with correspondent Alzo Slade. Winner of the Hard News Feature category at the LA Press Club Awards. The piece is behind HULU’s paywall.
Worked with a producer to develop a personal emotional response to a news event into a tight, argumentative personal essay. I love working through ideas with other writers even before they draft, and this was a great example of what can come out of those conversations.

Who’s that asking Lisa Taddeo the questions about her book to elicit narrative answers? Oh yeah, that’s me. And yes, I was the office “reader” who got tapped to do this fun stuff. Pays to be a nerd.
Was tickled that this script, which I wrote, was the second place winner of an LA Press Club Award for best Multimedia Package.
