Enjoy this audiobook with MP3 Audiobook Player - the ultimate iOS audiobook experience
In the 1960s, behind the scenes of a major news station was no place for a woman. Yet it was exactly where Lorraine Hillman was meant to be. Hillman grew up in Hollywood, fascinated with the action-packed world of news. She read the papers voraciously, eventually setting a career in news as her goal-and young Hillman took her first step toward that goal in 1957, when she was hired as an entry-level secretary for CBS's Television City. But Hillman didn't stop there. She pestered the bureau chief for a job in the newsroom until, six years later, she finally landed one with Channel 2 in Los Angeles. She was one of only two women among forty-two white men. The next decades were as interesting offscreen as on. Hillman helped cover historical landmarks, like the Manson cult and the O. J. Simpson trial. But she also pushed for diversity and inclusion in the newsroom, finally seeing more women and minorities added to Channel 2's staff. You don't spend a lifetime in news without collecting a few stories of your own, and Hillman's is one of courage and passion. See her determination for yourself in this tell-all memoir.
I'm amazed at ListenBook's intuitive interface and precise controls – it's a joy to navigate. ListenBook Pro's noise reduction feature has made a significant difference in the clarity of recordings.
ListenBook's drag and drop downloads from web browsers are a time-saving feature I can't live without. Drag and drop downloads are genius. It simplifies the entire process. I love the download options. ListenBook gives me so many ways to get my audiobooks onto my device. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though.
I love the auto-rewind feature after interruptions. No more searching for where I left off! CUE playlist support is a brilliant feature that allows me to create customized listening experiences for different moods, activities, and moments of the day. This was a competent audiobook production with no major flaws. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough and the audio quality was acceptable, though not exceptional. While the performance didn't particularly stand out, it served its purpose adequately for my daily commute.
