Donna Cole, Award-Winning Journalist, Photographer, Radio Show Host

Donna Cole, Navy Veteran, has been interested in journalism and photography throughout her life, selling her first photograph to a national news service in her teens.  Researching the who, what, where, when and how of news events and communicating the stories comes naturally to her.  She's written for newspapers and online news media, and now hosts a radio show on WNAV in Annapolis MD.  As part of a multi-media specialist, she has become the social media expert among her peers.  She talks about how journalism allows her to focus on a variety of topics she is passionate about, such as wildlife, veterans, and children.  Learn how she chases down a story about the illegal poisoning of the American Bald Eagle, the high suicide rates among teens in a community, and how she used social media to increase awareness when 50 junior and high school students built a house in 15 days.
