Pia Jordan
Morgan State University Assistant Professor
Baltimore, Maryland
I have been teaching at Morgan for six years. I went from the newsroom into the classroom. I am also the project director for the Tuskegee Army Nurses Project. I am working on a multi-media documentary on the Army Nurse Corps members who served with the Tuskegee Airmen at Tuskegee Army Air Field during World War II. My mother was a First Lieutenant and one of those nurses.
In Morgan's School of Global Journalism and Communication, I have taught students in broadcast writing, broadcast reporting, internship preparation, media studies and job preparation through a senior capstone course .
I won a Maryland States Arts Council Award for a screenplay. I am attempting to have the movie produced.
Before joining the Morgan faculty, I served almost twenty years as an anchor, reporter and producer for the Howard County Government Information Channel, Gtv.
Producing public affairs programs was also part of my responsibilities before joining Gtv when I worked for WMAR-TV in Baltimore, Maryland, a network affiliate station. I served as the assistant public affairs director there as well as an associate news producer.
I earned a M.A. in Journalism-Public Affairs, Radio-Television at American University in Washington, D.C. I earned a B.S. in Journalism-Broadcast News from the University of Maryland, College Park, College of Journalism.
I am a preacher's wife and preacher's daughter and mother of two preacher's kids.
