Quick Biography
Who is Jovita Moore?
Jovita Moore is a news reporter for WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia. She has worked for this organization for the past nearly 2 decades.
Jovita Moore’s birth, age, childhood, and education
Jovita Moore was born on 5 October 1968. She is of African ethnicity. Jovita Moore used to stay with her mother in a one-bedroom apartment. Talking about that time, Jovita Moore said:
“I grew up in a one-bedroom apartment, and we only had one TV. So when my mother came home from work and turned on the news, I would sit there and watch with her,”
Jovita used to love to keep up-to-date with the latest news in her childhood. She said:
“I was the kid who always knew current events. I read the paper as a child, The New York Times and the Daily News, and then I would go to school and talk about it.”
When Moore was at Bennington College (1985-1989) for her BA in literature, one of her professors had suggested that her writing style was good enough for her to consider taking up journalism as a profession. Moore was encouraged and she joined a summer internship at the Amsterdam News in Harlem. Moore later said of the time:
“It was hands-on because the staff was so small. This was before the Internet, before cell phones, so I had to go out, get information, and come back and put together stories. After that experience, I guess I was bitten.”
She went on to intern at The New York Times during her second and senior years at college. She soon realized that her print news was late than the TV news. She said:
“[My internship] was definitely a great introduction to reporting the news, but what was frustrating was that I’d be sitting in the newsroom and the same story that I was working on would already be live on TV. I started to get the difference of television news – the immediacy, the urgency.”
So she joined the Columbia University- Graduate School of Journalism and did her Masters in Broadcast Journalism (1989-1990).
