as possible. Gcto stations.
Talk to people. Tell them to be
very straight and honest with
you. Ask them to tell you what
they like about it and what
they don’t like .about it Then,
if you decide that you want to
go into this business, don't let
anybody discourage you."
The broadcasting industry
needs more African Americans
and women in management,
Dory said.
"In order to truly to be able
to cover a broad range of
what's happening out there,
you need a broad range of peo
ple making those decisions,"
she said. "It's very possible
that certain aspects of the
community may not get the
coverage that they deserve,
not just the African American
community. But it's got to be a
joint effort because it's just
impossible for us to cover
everything without the input
from the community... And if
you think that's it's not being
done, then you have an obhga-
tion to say something and to
be heard."
After graduating from the
University of Hartford in
Connecticut, Dory started at
the bottom, working multiple
jobs as a freelance writer and
radio announcer her first two
years out of college.
"I was always working," she
said. "A lot of times, what you
have to do is work two and
three part-time jobs. I was
doing work in New Jersey and
Delaware, working basically
seven days a week. I would
get off the air Sunday morn
ing, drive home to D.C. from
Delaware, then turn around
Monday and come back to be
in New Jersey."
Dory’s career stabilized dur
ing the mid-1980s when she
moved to Raleigh to become a
radio newscaster. Later, she
took a television news job in
Richmond, Va. She sharpened
her skills in Richmond before
moving on as the noon and 5
o'clock anchor in Cincinnati,
Ohio, where she remained
until coming to Charlotte last
year.
Her biggest adjustment to
Charlotte has not been the hot
weather or traffic, but some
thing more aggravating to any
newcomer.
"I’ve had the hardest time
trying to figure out the street
configurations," she said.
'"Why does one street ends and
another street begins on the
S£une road? Why did they do
this?"
Dory said her long-term
career goal is to continue
anchoring the news, while her
short-term goal is "to get
through this pregnancy safe
and sound."

Contest Rules
The Winner:
The race will consist of four mileposts and the finish line. The Horse crossing
the finish line first is the winner. Everyone who picked the winning horse will
be entered into the grand prize drawing for $200.00. The winner will be notified
the Monday after the contest concludes.
The Race:
The horses advance each week based on the unit figure of the Dow Jones
Industrial Average close on the Tuesday of that week.
For example:
If the DJIA closed at $5087.59, then horse number 7 would advance 1 milepost.
The unit figure is the number preceding the decimal point.
The Charlotte Post will print each week the DJIA close for that week along with
the current standings of the horses. No entries will be accepted after the race
begins.
