I began my research career as a University of Virginia physics librarian. Watergate got me interested in news, and I have been at the Herald-Leader for 28 years. I have a master’s degree from Northern Illinois University and an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma State University. It's fun to find that one piece of information that makes a story sizzle. If you have a question, I know where to look. E-mail Linda
My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky. The Herald-Leader hired me as a news assistant 25 years ago; soon after, I moved to the news research department, where I’ve been ever since. We used to clip newspapers. Now, almost all of our research is online. We've come a long way. E-mail Lu-Ann
