Journalist Michele Hollow will share stories of blogging about animal welfare and the network of people of which she now finds herself a part at our Sunday Platform at 11:00 AM on January 30th. She has covered all kinds of subjects but these days is most involved with writing an increasingly popular online blog called Pet News and Views (www.petnewsandviews.com). She has written about rescue animals, therapy dogs and wild horse roundups, pet care, animal welfare and the people who work with animals.
Michele, who studied zoology at the Bronx Zoo, is listed as an expert at dogtime.com. She has written for Cat Fancy, Dog Fancy, Pet Product News, Newsday, NY Times, NY Daily News, as well as many other publications. Her latest book is The Everything Guide to Working with Animals (Adams Media, 2009), which details first person accounts of what it is like to work with animals. She interviewed animal trainers, zoologists, veterinarians, vet techs, entomologists, animal rights activists, rescue workers and many more-even a makeup artist for animal movie actors.
She is the author of four children's books: two crafts books, a biography of the Grateful Dead and a book of animal jokes, riddles, and facts (coming out in 2011). She is a member of ASJA and co-founder of Professionals In Media.
Michele lives in South Orange with husband Steven, son Jordon and cat Earl Gray.
