Alabama State University graduate (Class of 2001) April Ross, who majored in communications at the HBCU, is the proud owner of her own television station in her west Georgia town.
It came over years of making use of her journalism skills around her community – starting with a story in 2017 which no one else was available to cover.
In January 2017, Ross stepped onto her very first news scene as a digital reporter. Using only her cellphone and Facebook Live, Ross informed the community about a Troup County deputy being shot. “I put my background in journalism, a degree to use and I realized that day that’s what our area needed,” she told Columbus, Georgia, station WTVM.
