Brett is a columnist for The Plain Dealer in Cleveland,
Ohio. Her column runs on Sunday, Wednesday and
Friday.
Recently, Regina was a finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. She was also a finalist in the same category in 2008. In addition, she recently received the Liberty Bell Award from the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association in June and the Silver Gavel Award from the American Bar Association on July 1st, 2009 (you can see a video of her introduction, and her remarks from that event commemorating - and illumating - the intersection of law and the media, here) both for her efforts to bring Open Discovery to Ohio. You can read more about Regina and all of these awards here.
You can check
out her most recent columns as well as a limited
archive of older columns, including her most requested columns, columns about issues most important to Regina, as well as the columns submitted for the Pulitzer Prize.
50 Life Lessons
The single most popular column ever written by Regina was "50 Life Lessons," written for The Plain Dealer when she turned 50 years old in 2006. So, despite what you may have read on the internet, Regina is NOT 90 years old !! You can read the original column here (and a recent column by Regina about the "internet aging process" here).
You'll get to read more about the "lessons" in April of 2010 when Grand Central Publishing releases her book, "God Never Blinks: 50 Lessons for Life's Little Detours." Please watch this space for more information.
Regina recently gave the keynote address for the Northcoast 99 Award ceremony. You can see that speech here. She was also featured on Oprah & Friends Radio with Dr. Oz.
For
over 7 years, Regina was a columnist at The Beacon
Journal in Akron, Ohio. During that time, Regina
was diagnosed and successfully treated for breast
cancer. Regina wrote 15 columns about her experience
that were printed in the pages of The Beacon Journal.
Unfortunately, those columns are not currently
available on the internet, but we are working
to change that. For those of you with access to
Nexis, you will find those columns there. You
can also find those columns at www.ohio.com
for a fee.
