Jackie Johnson
Working in public television since the 80’s, Jackie Johnson’s dedication is only surpassed by her smile and charm. After an award-winning career as a journalist and announcer, she joined the South Carolina Educational Radio Network in the summer of 1987, as a radio/anchor/Statehouse reporter. Jackie later transitioned over to South Carolina ETV as an Associate Producer/Director. She has coordinated behind the scenes for programs like Yoga in Practice, produced mini-documentaries for SC Hall of Fame and segments for the magazine program, Palmetto Scene.
After a long career, Jackie continues to work on local productions by writing scripts, providing voiceovers and on-air talent. Currently, she's involved with two projects, the digital series, Carolina Snaps and the digitization of SCETV's archives.
