Bringing their exceptional expertise and insights to the Symposium are these three speakers.
Lois Kazakoff, Deputy Editorial Page Editor, San Francisco Chronicle, on how to write and get an op-ed opinion piece published.
LOIS KAZAKOFF is the deputy editorial page editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. She is responsible for the op-ed page, including the opinion editorials and the columnists, and the Sunday Insight commentary section. Previously, she served as a business writer and editor.
In 1997, she launched a campaign to begin presenting the newspaper’s stock tables in a more commonsense form: in dollars and cents instead of fractions. As a result, she was invited to testify before a congressional subcommittee in support of legislation to change the increments in which stocks were traded.
She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in French from the University of California at Santa Cruz and a Master of Science of Journalism degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. She is an avid cook, gardener, hiker and traveler. She lives in Benicia, California, with her husband and two cats.
