I share stories on military heroes | Amy Forsythe - S.O.S. podcast #86
Amy is a fellow Navy communicator who brings to the fight combat experience, broadcast journalism, and an expert voice on the uses of active duty representation online.
In this episode, we’ll dive deep into an issue I discuss routinely: the military’s role in teaching its troops media literacy and the Navy’s current uses of active-duty military influencers.
Amy Forsythe is an award-winning military journalist who served five combat tours supporting combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and has been on assignment worldwide telling the military story.
Amy started her career as a U.S. Marine combat correspondent and serves as Public Affairs Officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve. Her photos and video taken while on assignment worldwide have been featured in numerous international and national media outlets and continue to be used for historical purposes.
She’s been assigned to units such as Joint Special Operations Command, AFRICOM and the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. She has covered military exercises and operations in places like Niger, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Palau, Romania and Poland.
Amy was named one of Success Magazine’s top 50 Women of Influence in 2022 and recently published her first book titled "Heroes Live Here." The book is a 'love letter' to Marines from Camp Pendleton and includes stories, photos, and artwork from those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.
She lives in San Diego, California, and is involved in many veteran-service organizations. Amy was recently inducted into the San Diego County Women's Hall of Fame in the 'Historian' category for her many years of covering military operations worldwide.
