Rita Cary, The River, Inspirational Woman in Media, Applaud Women-Spring 2010
Rita Cary, The River by Emily Pietro
Rita Cary, The River 92.5’s morning DJ, is a native of Toronto, Canada, but that hasn’t prevented her from making her mark on the media in the United States.
Rita graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in journalism and found her first job as a wire editor at the Canadian Press. “I always wanted to be a print journalist,” says Rita, “and I’ve always been very interested in politics.” When she moved to San Antonio, Texas, Rita
became a political reporter for the San Antonio Express news covering local politics. After moving to New Hampshire with her husband, she worked for the Portsmouth Herald.
So how did Rita end up in radio with a background in print journalism? “It was mostly just a huge coincidence, really. A friend of a friend needed someone to fill in at the station, and I sort of fell into it. I’ve always loved music and I’d been a River listener for a while. It worked out perfectly,” Rita explains. She started out working weekends and overnight shifts, and seven years later, she has worked her way up the chain and has been a DJ on Morning Drive since October of 2009.And to read the rest of the article go to the Spring issue of Applaud Women at www.applaudwomen.com.
