The Lead: UGA’s Dodie Cantrell-Bickley on the Bright Future of Broadcast Journalism

Dodie Cantrell-Bickley was taught the importance of a free press from her mother, who grew up in Nazi Germany and saw how crucial journalism was. Cantrell-Bickley pursued that passion for more than 30 years as a broadcast reporter and president of multiple news stations. She was a leader during the pivot to digital and the advent of the internet, and she’s always looking forward to what’s next.

In this episode, we talk about leading through change, encouraging innovation and staying powerfully optimistic about the future of journalism.

Guest: Dodie Cantrell-Bickley, senior lecturer in journalism at the University of Georgia

Host: Jacqueline GaNun
