| HousingWire Verified
Melissa Macerato: Platinum Preserve has really been a long time in the making. Whenever we look at product enhancements at Longbridge, we start by asking, what problems can we solve to better meet the needs of older Americans?

What was your first job as a journalist?

Writing entertainment news coverage for Movies.com, a division of Fandango.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, my grandmother gave me a lesson in how to use them on the model she used to write her syndicated column for the local newspaper.

How is social media changing news?

It depends on the beat. Sometimes it allows for writers and readers to go deeper, while in other places it oversimplifies matters of import.
