Rhiannon Fionn
Rhiannon Fionn is an award-winning independent journalist who began at
Creative Loafing in January 2009 as an intern. Prior to that, she worked in insurance and retail management. After years of investigative reporting on
coal ash, she's become a sought-after speaker on the topic and is currently
working on a book. She is a member of the Society of Environmental
Journalists and a founding member of the Greater Charlotte Society of
Professional Journalists. Her closest friends call her WYSIWYG (what you see
is what you get) and she calls herself "a scrappy country girl from
Alablamastan." Both descriptions fit. In her spare time, she is an avid
hiker and enjoys tending the chickens at a local co-op. Learn more at
