Mary Alex Anders

“My love for sports has been deeply rooted within myself and family for as long as I can remember and I have always had a passion for telling stories and helping others around me. My goal as a news and sports reporter is to be a voice for the communities who feel voiceless and a constant advocate for athletes and coaches whose lives are much more than just a name on the back of a jersey. I want my community to understand that your stories are not mine, I am just the person telling them, and this responsibility is not something I take lightly. I understand my platform as a reporter is important and I plan to use it to positively impact the communities around me and build meaningful relationships with those I serve. From the stories that are heartbreaking, to the stories that celebrate championships, my only hope is that I uplift each voice authentically and tell every story in the most genuine way possible! However, when I am not covering news and sports of merit across Southwest Georgia, you can find me rooting for the Dallas Cowboys, ringing my cowbell (Hail State!), traveling and spoiling my furbaby, Paris with unlimited pup-cups from Starbucks! I am excited and so grateful for the opportunity to serve you, South Georgia!”
