Jane Riley

Jane Riley spent 30 years at KCBS Radio. She was hired in 1971 for a secretarial job and spent many years as the administrative assistant to the station’s vice president and general manager.  For 25 years, Riley produced and hosted a program she created, “Bay Area Woman”. She figured she interviewed 2,000 women from all walks of life. She finally retired at age 79. Riley told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2011, “When I first started, women weren’t allowed to be on the air, and by the time I left the newsroom was practically filled with women,” Riley said. “I wasn’t afraid to push. I hope I helped a little bit” in breaking that glass ceiling. Jane Riley died in 2014 at age 89. In this episode, Jane interviews Janis Cooke Newman, author of "The Russian Word for Snow: A True Story of Adoption" (published in 2001)

NewsVault: Jane Riley's "Bay Area Woman" With Guest Janis Cooke Newman

We had such a rich and helpful conversation with the multitalented Janis Cooke Newman, author of memoir and novels, editor of the newly launched Technically Literate column of fictional short stories on CNET, and leader of LitCamp. We talked about the isolation of writing and ways to undercut that.

Episode 29: Craft and Plot in Novel and Memoir. A talk with Janis Cooke Newman.

Editor-at-Large, CNET’s Technically Literate Interview starts at 19:40 and ends at 43:30 We have a very different generation coming up who may relate to literature in a different way, because we have completely digital generations coming up. So I think those of us who present stories to the world have to be open to different ways to present them. And when we have a way to do it like we do in Technically Literate, that is an on-line way to do it, I think we always have to be thinking about pushing the boundary. News“2016 Digital Book World Keynote Presentation” by Data Guy at Author Earnings - March 11, 2016“Most everything you wanted to know about Data Guy: Revealed This Sunday in TeleRead” by David Rothman - March 25, 2016Interview with Data Guy by Susan Lulgjuraj for TeleRead - will be live March 27, 2016 here.“Data Guy’s Web of Analysis: DBW Turns Hostility Into a Handshake” by Porter Anderson at Publishing Perspectives - March 10, 2016“City re-introduces $30M Amazon contract for e-book marketplace” by Eliza Shapiro at Politico New York - March 22, 2016“Banned by Amazon for returning faulty goods” by Miles Brignall at The Guardian March 18, 2016“Return Too many items on Amazon?
