Melani Morose Edelstein is a librarian and information specialist, a former news journalist and Emmy winning television news producer, a current writer for Palos Verdes Magazine, and the CEO and personal historian of Legends and Legacies, a personal history service.
In this episode we cover so much about news, its transformation from pre-24-hour networks to today's endless information streams from a variety of sources. We also talk books and reading, how to find books that you will like, and especially how to help your kids find books that they will like, using the Five Finger Rule of Reading. We will also talk about the art of writing personal histories and the joys of reporting news and stories from a hyper-local perspective.
