Cheryl Gray

Professional Experience. Professional Results. I have more than 30 years of experience as a writer--nearly half of which has been spent in television news both at the local and network level. I have an excellent eye for visual detail and a keen sense of story development. Moreover, I am well-organized, detail-oriented and quite familiar with fast-paced deadlines. I have also enjoyed artistic writing pursuits. My work has been seen both here in the U.S. and abroad via television broadcast and live performance. I currently write for corporate web sites as well as online news and entertainment outlets, including columns on current events and feature stories. I bring highly-valued skills to your project from an industry in which accuracy, creativity and speed are tantamount to success. Any writing assignment that I take on is thoroughly researched, impeccably proofread and easily understood by any reader, listener and/or viewer. Using the benefits of my thorough background in writing, I utilize my skills across multiple platforms. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism. I began my career as a news writer and then advanced to become a reporter specializing in breaking news, series reports and features. I have enjoyed a number of prestigious assignments, including my coverage of Nelson Mandela’s first visit to the United States following his release from prison in South Africa. My one-on-one interviews have been as diverse as Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Academy-Award winning actor Paul Newman, legendary entertainer Cab Calloway and “ROOTS” author Alex Haley. I am confident that my skills and depth of experience will be invaluable assets to any project. My curriculum vitae is available upon request. less
