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.
