PAM PLATT

October 21, 2015 – Pam moderated an event featuring special guests Michael Wines and Sharon LaFraniere that give us a personal look into their professional lives as eye witnesses to world events.

Pam Platt has been a journalist for almost 38 years, working as a reporter, an editor, a columnist, an ombudsman and an editorial director (twice) – most recently at The Courier-Journal. She left her job there earlier this year. Her beloved career has allowed her to interview everyone from astronauts to the Village People, although not at the same time, and has nurtured her as a lifelong learner.

She also has served as president of the international Organization of News Ombudsmen and as a judge for the Pulitzer Prizes in journalism. Her favorite role is still that of mother to her daughter (who might not say the same thing!).
