How Did You Start Using Your Talents?
As a journalism student Deedra interned at KOKI-TV, a station she eventually helped rise to
a top Fox affiliate. As TV stations were creating online presences, Deedra traveled the U.S. helping local stations integrate new media into their broadcast mix. As websites for niche markets emerged, she successfully rode the wave.
