But we have a training program and will train you how to work. There will be some invetigative services where we investigate news stories and people in power. We double check their answers. I laugh and tell people that I chase convicts ( Bail Bonding ) and politicians, but we have found the convicts do not lie as bad!!!!
These are fun and excitiing jobs and you never know what you will encounter next. Each day is an adventure. We are not looking for professional journalists. No disrespect but RSN has found that professional journalist who are only here for two years and leave do not get a feel on the community, people in positions and how things operate.
ALSO TO BE HONEST – Rickey Stokes strongly feels young people need to be covered media wise. Years ago I hired a sports person who knew it forwards and backwards. But it never really took off and no one ever mentioned it to me. I want to cover the young people and the positive things they do. So I encourage some people who might want to volunteer and help cover youth sporting events and send them to us. Let us coordinate with you and give these young people the recognition they deserve.
RSN, Rickey Stokes, considers this web site as a community. We get about 2 million hits per month, according to our IT guy. I am aware been slacking lately but it has just been me. THANKFULLY people TEXT RICKEY daily with information and scene pictures you are my reporters. You are RSN success. And that help is appreciated.
DISPATCHER/OFFICE: RSN is looking for someone who will work in the office as a dispatcher/writer/office task. These are 24 hour, 7 day per week jobs. Just for the record, if handicapped or confined to a wheelchair, no issue and a great job for you. So please apply.
IN CLOSING: RSN NEWS operates from advertisers. We “GIVE” obituary to the families free. Local funeral homes have their own log in’s and if some in any counties and states mentioned do not, please contact. There is no limiit on words, pictures or video’s. The funeral homes with passwords post directly to the web site with 24/7 access. And there will never be any charge for the obits. It is the least we can do for families. If using an out of town funeral home but want it posted locally, contact us. We will post and it is free.
NEED SOCIAL MEDIA PROFESSIONAL: Do need someone with social media professional experience, FACEBOOK, TIC TOK, SNAPCHAT, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER and YOU TUBE. Some who knows podcast, both voice only and video with voice.
So join an exciting time.
NOW … WE NEED INVESTORS IN RSN NEWS. We operate on advertisers but also do not mind investors. We need some additional equipment. Some areas of service, such as bail bonding, is with a fee so it helps. The news, we do not charge for covering events or readership. We provide great results to our advertisers. We need a couple of “used” vehicles, 50,000 miles plus. RSN – Rickey Stokes, has deveoped a plan to make this grow and exciting and about what the future holds. RSN – Rickey Stokes loves finding information and doing articles and when people in power mistreat people Rickey Stokes fights for them. We love to keep the public informed. When people meet me I normally say if you hear anything good about me it is a lie and if it is bad then it is probably the truth. What I have learned in the media business we are not going to make everyone happy, expecially those public servants in places of power. When their hands are called they do not like. But I learned will quickly, that is part of the job. For them most part, they do a good job.
My plans are to really cover the courts better, municipal and county governments, and the Alabama Legislature. Which means will be traveling a lot from Dothan to Montgomery. I need a Toyota van for legislature because I fix a vehicle with an office in it and work to/from legislature. You need to know what is going on.
We will have debates in 2026 for those seeking public office. It will be in depth and not like the one Bill Durden did. While the candidates answered question, what did you really know about each individuals feelings and thoughts. As Charlie Kirk said, you need to know about the people you are voting for.
A LOT OF FUN TO COME. We are waiting on you. And those who want to advertise, we need you. Anyone wanting to invest and make this something, we need you.

TEXT ME IF I DO NOT ANSWER
“For the past seven years, it has been my great honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Geneva County as your Coroner. During this time, I have worked diligently to serve our community with compassion, professionalism, and integrity.
I am proud of the many accomplishments achieved during my first two terms. For the first time in county history, an official office for the Geneva County Coroner was established in the courthouse — fully equipped with a state-of-the-art, 12-body morgue. Throughout the death investigation process, the strong partnership between the Coroner’s Office and our city, county, and state law enforcement agencies, along with the District Attorney’s Office, has been vital to our continued success. Working closely with these agencies, I have also had the opportunity to provide expert testimony in court, contributing to the prosecution and conviction in multiple homicide cases.
I am also sincerely grateful for the continued support I have received from our county’s funeral directors. Death investigation requires ongoing training, as mandated by Alabama law, and I am thankful for the practical instruction and certification I receive each year through the Alabama Coroner’s Association (ACA). I am honored to serve as an active member of the ACA.
After careful thought, consultation with family and friends, prayerful consideration, and a heartfelt desire to continue the work I began seven years ago, I am pleased to announce that I will be seeking reelection as Geneva County Coroner in the upcoming Republican Primary on May 19, 2026.
I once again seek this office out of a deep commitment and strong devotion to serving our community. During my enlistment in the United States Air Force, I learned vital core values: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. I have strived to live by these principles in both my private and professional life.
We are all called to serve, and I have found no greater calling than serving the families of Geneva County. I am deeply grateful for the trust and support you have placed in me over the years, and I remain committed to continuing to serve the people of this county with the same dedication and respect that this office deserves.
I humbly ask for your continued support and your vote in the upcoming election. Together, we can continue the work of serving our community with care and integrity.”
Donny Eric Adkinson
Geneva County Coroner
