Author: Rick Alloway June 15, 2023 Duration: 47:18

Brittany Jones-Cooper is a freelance writer, journalist, host and lifestyle reporter based in New York City with more than 15 years of experience working in television, digital media and podcasting. A native of Omaha, she is a 2008 Broadcasting graduate of the UNL College of Journalism & Mass Communications. After graduation from UNL, she spent a few months as a local reporter at KETV in Omaha before taking on the role as Katie Couric's personal production assistant at The CBS Evening News. From there, she joined Couric at her daytime talk show as an associate producer. As a lifestyle reporter for Yahoo, she was a host for the "Build Series" featuring long-form interviews with actors, musicians, athletes and authors, and later hosted a show called "Unmuted" which provided a platform for underrepresented voices. Her newest podcast will debut later this year. She spoke with Campus Voices as part of a series on the future of the media and communications industries.  


Tune into KRNU Campus Voices for a ground-level view of life at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, crafted entirely from within the university's own walls. Under the guidance of Rick Alloway, this audio project is produced by the students, faculty, and staff of the UNL College of Journalism & Mass Communications, offering a unique blend of raw reporting and polished documentary storytelling. Each episode moves beyond simple bulletins, weaving together the threads of campus news, emerging local culture, and the broader societal issues that resonate with the student body and the Lincoln community. You'll hear directly from the people shaping campus life-whether it's a profile of a groundbreaking researcher, a deep dive into a student-led initiative, or the sounds and stories from a cultural event that defined the week. This podcast captures the authentic rhythm and intellectual energy of a Big Ten campus, presenting it with the thoughtful analysis you'd expect from aspiring media professionals. While it airs Sunday mornings on 90.3 KRNU, the podcast format lets you engage with these campus voices on your own schedule, providing a consistent and insightful audio chronicle of a university in motion.
