Donna serves as Editor-in-Chief for Carolina Journal. Donna has more than 20 years of experience delivering accurate, clear information in an engaging story.
In addition to print journalism, she has anchored news and political talk programing on television and radio and delivered live coverage of historic world events that define our times. Her goal is to build a body of work that prompts a larger conversation about the importance of personal liberty, the role of government, and setting a course to ensure freedom for future generations.
“I am honored to be a part of the Carolina Journal team and join the long history of quality journalism here,” she said. “As more North Carolinians try to decipher news and fact from angle and opinion, CJ remains committed to delivering clear information readers can count on. I am looking forward to working with these talented journalists to grow our footprint in the state’s media landscape.”
