Focus On: Mel Berkowitz
On October 10th 2008 the Friends of Woodhaven Library held its scheduled monthly meeting; Mr. Mel Berkowitz was presented with a certificate of appreciation for volunteering his time on September 20th, 2008. Mel gave a presentation on “What is public access television and how the community can become involved in public access television.” He also explained how one can become a certified access producer.
Mr. Berkowitz worked for 20 years, starting in 1960, as a medical and Biochemical research assistant. After leaving that field, he became a high school Biology teacher and taught at Norman Thomas, Morris, Jamaica and Cardozo high schools. During his spare time while still teaching at Jamaica high school in 1996 he became a certified public access producer. He has, been producing shows since then, as well as furthering his career as a teacher, he worked part time for CBS late night news. His shows cover a wide variety of content including, but not limited to, the usual talk show format, and in his many years as a producer he had developed a devoted following of viewers for his shows.
