Steve Hill
Vice President
Steve Hill has spent his life in Georgia working in most every field of mass media and entertainment. He was born in Rome and grew up listening to Cap Hicks every morning on WRGA and watching Officer Don (Kennedy) on Atlanta TV in the afternoons. Before he was old enough to drive, he hung out at the local cable TV station and worked free for a year to learn the business- even hosting a nightly on-camera DJ show. By the time he was a senior at Dalton High School, Steve was leaving school during lunch to do ten minutes of rip-and-read news at WTTI, a 10,000 watt AM in Dalton, where he was news director. Over the next twelve years, he also worked at WQMT-FM in Chatsworth, then WNEA AM in Newnan. Having had experience as a freelance photojournalist, Steve left radio in 1982 and joined The Newnan Times-Herald as photographer, where he also became technology manager and webmaster for the better part of his 27 years there. He also worked brief stints at TV stations in Chattanooga and Atlanta, operated a stage lighting and sound company and built three video production studios. Steve is now semi-retired and manages the Charles Wadsworth Auditorium in Newnan while assisting with other conference facilities there. Steve is familiar to many GRHOF members, as he has photographed several of our annual induction events.
