Who is Doni Glover?

(BALTIMORE - June 15, 2006) - BMORENEWS publisher Donald Morton "Doni" Glover has been publishing news via the web and doing talk radio in the Baltimore/DC/Virginia area on a consistent basis for more than 7 years. Also the former editor of the Sandtown-Winchester ViewPoint Newspaper for nearly a decade, he has been featured on a number of stations including WOLB 1010 AM, WEAA 88.9 FM, WYPR - FM, WOL 1450 AM, and 92Q FM. Beginning in elementary school (Baltimore's Matthew Alexander Henson, #29) with the morning announcements (under the instruction of his 5th and 6th grade teacher, Kermit Vanstover Williams), he first appeared on local radio at the tender age of 15 under the tutelage of former WEAA 88.9 FM host Charlie Dugger. Dugger also exposed Glover to WEBB, the Dorothy Brunson-owned station that was located right in Walbrook Junction.

Academically, Glover attended William Hugo Lemmel Jr. High School, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Paul Laurence Dunbar Community High School, Morehouse College, and ultimately earned a Bachelor's of Science degree with honors from Baltimore's Coppin State University in English. The Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Scholar's degree is specifically in Media Arts: Broadcast Productions and Technology.

Glover has also attended classes at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore City Community College, Baltimore County Community College - Catonsville, Georgia State University, Clark-Atlanta University, Spelman College, and Towson State University. Having completed the full graduate course of study, including successful completion of comprehensive examinations in International Affairs at Morgan State University, he is a thesis shy of his graduate degree.

Voted Baltimore's Best Enterprising Journalist by the City Paper (Baltimore) in 2005, today Glover hosts his latest product "The Doni Glover Show" on BMORENEWS TV. Produced by BMORENEWS General Manager Corey Mathis and engineered by Damian "Chip" Dizard, "The Doni Glover Show" has taken the whole BMORENEWS Mission to another level. BMORENEWS is produced by Glover's multi-media marketing and public relations firm, DMGlobal Communications. DMGlobal's reach is indeed global, having touched the Caribbean, China, Africa, and the Middle East in conjunction with The Jordan Tourism Council, Baltimore-Chinatown Enterprises, and Global Vessels. Glover himself has been to Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rome, Jordan, and Jamaica. Stateside, DMGlobal has worked with entities from New York to Los Angeles.

Recently honored by his beloved Sandtown-Winchester Community, he is also one of the Baltimore Business Journal's ten "Faces to Watch in 2003", the 2004 U.S. Small Business Assocation Minority Business Advocate of the Year for Maryland, and the 2005 recipient of the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education's Presidential Citation.

Each week, Glover hosts 'One Mic' (Thursdays at 6 pm, WEAA 88.9 FM) and "Empower Hour" (Tuesdays at 10 am, WOLB 1010 AM). Via these and other shows (including Glover's first show of his own, WOLB's "Bmore Now"), he has interviewed hundreds of people, including former DC Mayor and Councilman Marion Barry, the National Urban League's Marc Morial, WEAA icon Kweisi Mfume, Gov. Robert Ehrlich, Lt. Gov. Michael S. Steele, Baltimore Mayor Martin O'Malley, Congressman Elijah Cummings, Montgomery County Executive Douglas M. Duncan, Prof. Ron Walters, former Maryland Democratic Chairman Isaiah "Ike" Leggett, Rev.

Henson, III, former City Councilwoman/Delegate Cathy Pugh, former Baltimore City Councilman Carl Stokes, City Council President Sheila Dixon, the late Delegate Howard "Pete" Rawlings, Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith, Baltimore County Councilman Ken Oliver, Raymond V. Haysbert, Sr., Garland Williamson, Robert Wallace, Special Secretary Sharon Pinder, Del. Jill P.

Further, Glover has utilized these and other media venues to help develop a collective black agenda which includes a focus on black business, public education (particularly in Baltimore City and Prince George's County), ex-offender services, and universal access to health care for all. In this, it is not uncommon for him to ask a politician, "So, how many black millionaires have you made?"

With a long list of people to thank, Glover particularly acknowledges the love and support of people like Diane Bell-McCoy and Michael Preston - both formerly of Empower Baltimore Management Corporation, along with Professor Ronn Nichols, Professor Peter Brooks, Brother Lyle Muhammad, Valerie Simon, Diana Spencer, Mike Jones, Dorothy Towler, Jerry Cross, former Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke, Nikki Giovanni, Micheal Jacobs, MPROVE Magazine Publisher Omar Muhammad, WOLB's Larry Young, Harbor Bank founder Joseph Haskins and his assistant - Michelle Brown, Emmanuel Price, the late Dr. Douglas Martinze Stanton, Marc Clarke and Troy Johnson of 92Q, John Bugg (formerly of the Greater Baltimore Urban League), former state Senator Clarence Mitchell, IV, Maxie Jackson, William Poinsette, Dwayne Grady, Keith Reed, Mark Steiner, Councilman Kenneth Harris, Anthony McCarthy, Wylie Hall, R. B. Jones, John Milton Wesley, Charles Robinson, Northwest VOICE publisher Kenny Brown, WOL's "Uncle" Bernie McCain, www.BlackFriday.com's George Harris, Radio One founder Cathy Hughes, Kush, Mike Roberts, Gary Witherspoon, Famebridge Payne-Witherspoon, Talibah Chikwendu, Willie Givens, Steve Theodore, Teria Rogers, and many others.

A very special thanks goes to WEAA news producer Jennifer Longmire, engineer Zack Coleman, and, of course, the Queen of Baltimore radio, Mrs. Sandi Mallory.

As with any growing entity, Glover has excelled to also provide political analysis on WBAL TV 11, thanks to folk like Wanda Draper, Bill Fine, Cassandra Vaughn-Fox, Michelle Butts, Jane Miller, Debra Weiner, Tim Tooten, Lisa Robinson and, of course, long-time mentor Stan Stovall. Further, he hosts an on-line TV show, The Capitol Glover Report, on Obi Linton's www.BlackTVOnline.com. Glover's television skills, honed at Baltimore's own Coppin State, were birthed back in elementary school when he appeared on WJZ TV's Evening Magazine and Bob Turk & The Sunshine Kids. He has also appeared with mentor Michael Cryor on "On Time."

Glover said, "I owe much of this to my late father, Donald Edward Glover, who encouraged me to read various newspapers and to be able to 'speak intelligently on most any topic'. I can remember my dad also guiding me to listen to media commentators, particularly the late Carl T. Rowan and Paul Harvey...so I could know 'the rest of the story.'"

Over the years, Glover is increasingly contacted and quoted by national media sources. Consequently, he has been quoted in a number of publications, including the Baltimore Sun, the Baltimore Business Journal, the Jordan Times, the Washington Times, and Baltimore's City Paper. Further, his written works have appeared in the Baltimore Afro-American, the Baltimore Times, the Annapolis Times, Turning Point Magazine, The Final Call, The Northwest Voice, and Flywire Magazine.

Further, a most-requested public speaker, he is too the co-founder, along with David Miller, of the HARAMBEE Dinner Club, a forum that has drawn everybody from then-candidate for Governor, Robert Ehrlich, to Doug Duncan, to Martin O'Malley. An extension of the HARAMBEE Dinner Club has been a more pointed forum, POLITICS '06. For the past nine weeks, this forum has featured a number of business owners, community advocates, and politicians from across the Maryland-DC area. Also, he is the founder of a prison ministry, Love 4 L, which has done outreach to young males, 14 to 17 years of age, who are charged with adult crimes in the Baltimore City Detention Center. A strong advocate for the community - including his many talent shows at The Avenue Market and Prayer Rallies on Baltimore Drug Corners, he is a proud activist for education, minority business, and the fair treatment of all citizens. Also, in conjunction with dEVNIX Data Management, Glover's BMORENEWS helped build - virtually overnight - www.KatrinaBaltimore.com to assist in relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Katrina. With former employers including the Baltimore Empowerment Zone's Empower Baltimore Management Corporation, Glover is currently working on his first book, Glover is the proud father of Asaan and N'yinde Amaari.
