What happens when journalists try to help others January 4, 2009

Ketzel Levine worked for NPR for more than 30 years. Her most recent series involved her traveling the country, reporting on how to survive in the struggling economy. It was an idea she developed and began in September in the first weeks of the economic downturn.

Ultimately, however, she would be reporting on herself. Half-way through her series about staying employed in a struggling economy, NPR announced a 63-person layoff, Levine included.

She’s able to laugh at it now — as seen in this CNN interview — and her final report in the series was a narrative about her own story.

Just another reason to stay in school as long as possible. Or, another reason to move to Lubbock.
