About Phyllis Fletcher

I’m a decorated editor and mentor with two decades of distinguished service in documentary and journalism. My podcast portfolio includes scripted and unscripted shows: investigations, interviews, history, pop culture commentary and advice. I also make time to teach, coach and write. My research on minoritized journalists and the unique ethical challenges we face is published in the Handbook of Global Media Ethics (Springer 2021).
