BIO: John Pruitt began his journalism career in 1964 as a television reporter-cameraman. He eventually rose to top anchor at Atlanta’s WSB-TV, where he shed light on major news stories, such as the civil rights movement, Georgia politics, and note-worthy public figures, for over 50 years. His reporting has been honored with multiple awards including induction into the Atlanta Press Club and Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. John has retired from broadcasting but not from storytelling. His debut novel, TELL IT TRUE, is a work of fiction based on his experiences and the challenges journalists faced during the turbulent Civil Rights Movement of the ’60s.
