On Friday’s First Coast Connect with Melissa Ross , our Media Roundtable discussed some of the top stories in Northeast Florida this week, including:
Melissa Ross's steady, confident voice can be heard throughout Florida on NPR affiliate WJCT FM in Jacksonville ... and nationally, as Fill-In Host for The Diane Rehm Show. As the 11-year host of "First Coast Connect," her firm-but-fair interview style has earned her Emmy's and national recognition as one of America's top radio news personalities. 20 years ago, her young reporting career took a drastic turn on 9-11. As the country collapsed into fear, Fox News purchased her station and immediately dictated that all coverage be hyper-partisan and flattering to the Republican administration. For a woman with a deep sense of journalistic ethics, that did not feel right and caused her to depart what had been a blossoming career. That was the beginning of her incredible Swan Dive. Along with her daily morning show, she now co-hosts the highly respected "Florida Roundup" every Friday, a valued source for facts-based news reporting and analysis. Today, Melissa connects and inspires across a deeply divided community. And continues to be be a force for objectivity in our lamentably "post-truth" society. Welcome to her Swan Dive!
