Embarking on a journey across America with Ivory Hecker and Elizabeth Lane in “Beyond The Surface Of America” is an opportunity to explore the profound depths of our nation. This collection of videos weaves through the vibrant tapestry of American life, inviting us to uncover the hidden threads that bind the soul of our country.
Through personal narratives over 8 states, we are granted a glimpse into the challenges and dreams shaping the United States. From illegals entering through our open border, homeless encampments, agricultural food security, and government surveillance to the quest for inner peace, the relentless pursuit of the American Dream is laid bare, allowing us to witness how the lived experiences of its people influence the fabric of society.
This undertaking is not one of grandeur but of humble discovery. We are called to engage with empathy, listen with open hearts, and gain a deeper understanding of our nation’s multifaceted nature. It is a journey that demands our curiosity and our willingness to be transformed by the profound insights that emerge from “Beyond The Surface Of America.”
Ivory Hecker founded her independent journalism company, Ivory Media, in 2021 after leaving a nine-year corporate news career by calling out the deception in corporate news live on air. Ivory is proud to be free from corporate overlords and untethered from special interests—a rarity in the news industry. Ivory’s primary goal as a journalist is to provide citizens who value their individual liberty with the information they need to remain free and self-governing.
Ivory realized the need for independent journalism while witnessing the corruption inside her own company, FOX Corp, over the course of 2020 and 2021. While working as a reporter and fill-in anchor, she watched the corporation repeatedly put its special interests ahead of the viewers’ interests and the truth. She called out the corruption live on air on June 14, 2021. The video went viral around the globe. People from countless parts of the world reached out, expressing their own concerns about propaganda in the media. Thousands donated to Ivory, giving her the opportunity to launch her own company.
Prior to all this, Ivory spent nearly four years as a full-time hard news reporter and fill-in anchor at the Murdoch-owned FOX local station in Houston—FOX 26. Ivory covered some of the biggest stories, from presidential visits by Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Carter to the death and funeral of President George H.W. Bush in his hometown. She covered the massive march and funeral of George Floyd, two World Series involving the Astros, the Hurricane Harvey recovery, the Santa Fe mass shooting, and chemical fires and explosions in the oil and gas industry, with appearances on local and national news.
Prior to FOX 26, Ivory was a reporter and fill-in anchor for the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis for two years. She was a reporter for the NBC affiliate in Lexington, Kentucky, for two years prior to that. Ivory’s first full-time TV job was as a reporter for the FOX affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina.
Ivory holds a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in New York.
