Mel Laytner was a reporter and editor of hard news for nearly twenty years, much of it as a foreign correspondent covering the Middle East for NBC News and United Press International. His first full-time reporting job was with UPI covering all manner of urban mayhem in New York City, his hometown. After a stint as a suburban bureau chief, he moved to the General and Cables (foreign) desks and became the “slot man” editor on both, responsible for selecting the day’s top stories for UPI’s 400 afternoon newspaper clients. His first foreign assignment was London. A year later, UPI moved him to Tel Aviv and a year after that, he was named Jerusalem Correspondent. NBC News recruited Mel as its Middle East Radio Correspondent. After eight grinding years overseas, the prestigious Knight-Bagehot program awarded Mel a fellowship in Business and Economic Journalism, which included a year’s residency at Columbia’s Graduate School of Business. Mel received his BA from the City College of New York and holds master’s degrees from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, and from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs. He lives in New York City with his wife, an artist and teacher, and is the father of three daughters. Learn more at www.mellaytnerauthor.com
