Jackie Hendry to Host South Dakota Focus SDPB is pleased to announce Jackie Hendry is the next host of South Dakota Focus, SDPB’s news and public policy program. Hendry steps in after long-time host Stephanie Rissler left to work with the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations. Hendry has been SDPB’s Health & Education Reporter since 2018 and has worked with South Dakota Focus as a guest and content producer. She has also guest-hosted In the Moment with Lori Walsh. Originally from Roscoe, Illinois, Hendry arrived to the University of South Dakota in 2011 for her undergraduate studies in Journalism and Native Studies. She is currently pursuing her Master’s in Communication from USD. Hendry first came to SDPB in 2017 as a summer programming intern and returned for a news internship. “I’m most looking forward to telling stories in a new way,” says Hendry. “I focused on video journalism in college, but after working in radio for a few years, I’ve acclimated to that. My writing has improved from that experience, so now I’m excited to challenge myself and work with a team of talented reporters and videographers to bring in-depth, high-quality visual storytelling to SDPB’s audience.” Join Hendry for all-new episodes of South Dakota Focus Thursday, Feb. 11 & Thursday, Feb. 18, 8pm (7 MT) on SDPB1 and SDPB.org.
