About the Authors

Ronald D. Ross, BA, MDiv, DMin, is a former pastor and missionary to Africa who has spent much of his life writing, teaching and working as the publisher of various publications, including an entertainment weekly in Douglas County, Colo.

Ross earned his first byline front-page story as a writer for his high school newspaper and served as a citizen journalist when he reported all of his high school’s sports scores to a local radio station.

Now, as the co-founder and catalyst-in-chief of the National Association of Citizen Journalists, he focuses his attention on motivating and supporting citizen journalists in their quest to keep their communities informed.

This is Ross’ second book. He also wrote, “Your Family Heritage, a Guide to Preserving Family History,” a resource for oral history taking.

Susan Carson Cormier has more than 28 years of experience in the media arts, including stints as a broadcast writer, reporter, assistant city editor, city editor, legislative bureau chief, public information officer and published citizen journalist.

Cormier’s entry into the news business came naturally. Her father, Donald W. Carson, was a news reporter and editor before he became a journalism professor/department head at the University of Arizona. She became hooked on journalism after two pieces that she wrote as a college student – or as a citizen journalist - were published in local newspapers.

As the co-founder and head coach of the NACJ, she focuses her attention on teaching citizen journalists the basic skills that she learned at the UofA and during her decade in the newspaper business.
