DONNA CAMPBELL is a writer, producer, and editor who specializes in documentary projects for public television. She began her work in print, founding Lake Norman Magazine, a popular regional publication for the fast-growing community near Charlotte.  In 1990, she worked with her sister Susan to write and produce a television program about domestic violence. Any Day Now featured personal stories from sixteen women across North Carolina. The producers won national awards from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Association of Women Broadcasters in Radio and TV.  Fifteen years later, the program is still used in shelters, courtrooms and classrooms across the country.  Inspired by the power of personal documentary, Campbell has continued to work in television. She has produced many award-winning programs for local and regional broadcast and has interviewed hundreds of people---from Michael Jordan to Mother Teresa.

Her longtime love for North Carolina and its people has led to such projects as Fiddler's Grove: A Celebration of Old-Time Music; Wild in Corolla, the story of the last round-up of the wild ponies on the Outer Banks; Hard Rain, Lessons Learned from the Flood of '99 ­ which earned first place among documentaries from the National Educational Television Association--and a followup, Higher Ground; and the Emmy-nominated George Beverly Shea: The Wonder of it All.

With Minnow Media, Donna has produced other Emmy-nominated programs including, Something in Common (a documentary about the impact of North Carolina's changing demographics in our public schools), Ruth and Billy Graham: What Grace Provides (a provocative look at the family behind the world's most famous evangelist, narrated by Walter Cronkite) and Faces From The Flood: Hurricane Floyd Remembered.  She is currently working on a project with UNC-TV about children's health.
