Laura Markowitz is a Contributing Producer at Arizona Public Media at Arizona Public Media. She possess expertise in editing, storytelling, editorial, journalism, blogging and 36 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I was a freelance writer for Laura when she was editor/publisher of In The Family magazine. Her assignments were always challenging and inspiring. She was always very respectful of my words and my time. Her editing tuned my work well to harmonize with a consistent voice for that publication. Writing for her was always creatively stimulating, and I was proud to have my work appear in her publication." and "Laura's creative direction & production on an incredible film piece for the UA School of Theatre, Film & Television called, 'From Character to Curtain,' was truly professional and inspirational. She conceptualized the entire video as a 'making of' short, highlighting the Acting and Musical Theatre Division in the School, as students in the program took their journey from rehearsals of 'Into The Woods' to opening night on stage. Laura's interview questions were insightful and elicited the most profound, unscripted, honest answers from our students and faculty. Her collaboration with Scot Litteer and his film crew, as well as myself in the Marketing Department at the UA, was as friendly and pleasant as it was professional. Her gift as a great interviewer stems from her mastery to listen. Though Laura had a story board in her mind for her project with us, she was always able to change it if she heard something new and exciting from an interviewee. In other words, she listens hard, is able to think fast on her feet and change gears if it improves the piece; the story she's trying to help tell. All faculty in our School loved the finished product (and of course, the students)...and that is saying something because rarely can we get academics to all agree on the same thing! Don't waste your time hiring anyone else for producing your work if you have a story to tell or something to market. Laura is the BEST."
