Current Position

Location: Albany, Georgia

Beat: Rural communities in southwest Georgia

Position:

This journalist focuses primarily on the under-covered populations of southwest Georgia that have been economically hard hit over the last decade. Many of the counties of Southwest Georgia have little or no credible news coverage, and so little light is brought to the socioeconomic and equity issues facing these underserved Georgia citizens. This reporter helps highlight problems and solutions.
