“Guam needs truth-tellers and truth-seekers,” said Rex Sorensen, CEO of the Sorensen Media Group, which Anderson helped found. “The Jon A. Anderson Journalism Scholarship is our collective way of supporting this belief and honoring a man who illustrated it perfectly.”

The tuition assistance program, created by Anderson’s family as a tribute to the “Father of Talk Radio,” will be supported through the UOG Endowment Foundation. Once fully implemented, the scholarship will allow aspiring newspaper reporters, television broadcasters, and talk show hosts to be mentored and educated by the very best in the field.

“Jon had such a big impact on my career, and I can’t think of a better way to pay his generosity forward by ensuring a bright future in journalism on Guam,” said Patti Arroyo, who co-hosted Newstalk K57’s flagship morning show with Anderson for 10 years. “I encourage his colleagues in media and anyone who was touched by the sound of his voice to donate if they can.”
