Summary
Editor and journalist Amelia Ashley-Ward was born on September 17, 1957 in Mississippi. Ashley-Ward received her B.A. degree in journalism and photojournalism in 1979 from San Jose State University. That same year, she was hired at the Sun-Reporter Publishing Company as a reporter and photojournalist. Ashley-Ward would go on to work for the Sun-Reporter newspaper as a reporter until 1984, when she was promoted to managing editor. Then, in 1994, after the newspaper's longstanding publisher, Carlton Goodlett, resigned, Ashley-Ward was hired as the publisher for the Sun-Reporter. Following Goodlett's death in 1997, she bought the Sun-Reporter Publishing Company from Goodlett's son, acquiring all three of the company's newspapers: the California Voice, the Metro and the Sun-Reporter. Ashley-Ward also created the nonprofit Sun-Reporter Foundation in 2004. She has been the recipient of many honors, including the National Newspaper Publishers Association's Photojournalism Award and the Publisher of the Year award.
