I had the privilege of speaking with retired news anchor and Texas State alumna, Gloria Campos Brown. I grew up watching Campos as a news anchor on WFAA-TV in Dallas, and I was honored to be able to talk to her about her career as an award-winning journalist and about her time as a Bobcat.
She was a part of my inspiration to pursue this field from years of watching her every night on the news, so I was curious to know what inspired her to become a journalist.
Campos said that watching the live, wall-to-wall coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was the event that first got her thinking about journalism.
In high school, she was involved with the school newspaper, the yearbook and a literary magazine. She credits her high school journalism teacher and fellow Texas State alumna, Gene Yates, for being the person who inspired her to attend Southwest Texas State.
She also did a newscast for the radio station on campus. Campos looks back on her time in San Marcos very fondly. Beyond her educational and career-oriented pursuits, Campos also worked two part-time jobs in San Marcos and enjoyed her free time. Campos got her start in broadcasting as an intern for WOAI radio station in San Antonio- a job that one of her Texas State instructors assisted her in getting.
She was later offered a position at the station after graduation but declined because she had already agreed to work at KGBT, a TV station in her hometown of Harlingen, Texas.
