Letter of Recommendation
I am writing this short message in support of Tamara Henry’s application for a Fellowship to attend the upcoming California Health Journalism Conference in Los Angeles in March 2007. As News Director for the City of Santa Monica’s bi-weekly cable news program, Santa Monica Update, and our quarterly, Metro Motion, I have worked closely with Tamara for almost two years. Tamara has consistently performed at an excellent, professional level. She has managed to produce effective journalism on a wide range of topics from alternate transportation and car pools to New Urbanism and Transit Villages, from No Smoking Campaigns in Santa Monica to Homelessness and Dual-Diagnosis, Sheltered Care. In several live-to-tape, in-studio interviews recently, I had the luxury and good fortune to encourage Tamara to extend her scheduled five minute interviews to seven or eight minutes based on her perceptive questioning and the intriguing responses she elicited. Tamara’s commitment to Journalism and Health related issues pushed by her academic course of studies in Psychology places her on the cusp of moving ever more strongly into a field that seems to be calling for her full participation. I have no doubt that the immersion at this time in the California Health Journalism Conference would play a pivotal role in her professional development as a Health Care Journalist. Best of luck to all, John Helmore CityTV of Santa Monica

Celebrating a Decade in Television
It's 2009, and I am celebrating 14-years in television. I started as an assistant producer at a CBS affiliate in Little Rock for the morning show in 1995. I received a KARK NBC Broadcast Journalism Award Scholarship and my Bachelors Degree in Broadcast Journalism in 1996. I was hired as a weeknight anchor for a WB in 1997 where I also produced our Doctor's "Good Health Report." I movied up to one of the top five Fox affiliates in the nation at the turn of the century to work as the weekend news anchor, general assignment reporter and producer/anchor of the medical news segment "Health Matters". In 2005 I was hired to work as an anchor and reporter in Los Angeles where I am also the segment producer for Santa Monica Update. I am also the anchor and segment producer/reporter for "Metro Motion". www . metro . net In 2006, I assumed anchor duties at "Beverly Hills In Focus" which is now on hiatus. In 2006, I created my own monthly show which I produce and host on Time Warner Cable. Most recently I wrote and produced an Emmy video segment that landed me as a "Red Hot on the Red Carpet" finalist on "Access Hollywood" NBC. And I wrote and co-produced a comedy skit that landed me on "Pitch to America" on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show."
