Anthony Payton | Journalist. Storyteller. Subject Matter Expert.
Anthony Payton Media is where storytelling and strategy meet.
My journey helps shape my work, grounding it in truth, connection, and possibility.
Through journalism, public speaking, and media projects, I share stories that are powerful and inspirational. I also consult with justice organizations, apprenticeship programs, and employers looking to bridge the gap between justice-involved talent and opportunity.
In the creative world, I serve as a resource for authors, screenwriters, and producers seeking authenticity in stories involving the justice system. Recently, I was hired by a USA Today bestselling author to review and refine a character’s arc for accuracy. Whether it’s “punching up” scripts, editing manuscripts, or advising productions, I bring lived experience and professional insight to ensure truth on the page or screen.
Anthony Payton Media is both personal and professional; a hub for projects that inspire change and a platform for collaboration with those who believe in the power of stories and second chances.
