Advertising Investigative Reporter This was one of the first of its kind in the country, addressing the needs of the Latino population. It was the fastest growing Latino population at the time and in NW Arkansas.
Highlights:
Interviewed the father of Rock-a-billy, the late Frank Starr. Frank Starr was a contemporary of Elvis Presley and at one time, commanded equal popularity. Frank Starr's music is still in demand in Europe.
Exposed the corruption of the Child and Family Services with a series of articles - 'Secret Court and Secret Lies' This series encouraged others to come forward with similar stories. Received a subpoena, but it was rescinded when they realized CNN and every major news organization was getting ready to descend upon NW Arkansas to support one of their own (me), by refusing to divulge my sources. This work prompted Governor Mike Huckabee to 'clean house' in the Child & Family Services, in the state. I was trusted and respected in the Latino community.
