Hire Brittany!
Some news for '26: Last month was my final at @ABC. Grateful for the fantastic career highlights & a lot of fun along the way. I'm now sorting out what's next -- if you’re hiring or know someone who is, send them my way. brittanylrshepherd@gmail.com

It was my turn in the My First Byline barrel with @RyanBeckwith. My story of scamming my way into a job at The Boston Globe will not make me popular. yourfirstbyline.substack.com…

A trip to Washington, DC for consumer tech (and tech) meant visiting three people: Walt Mossberg, Steve Wildstrom and Rob Pegoraro. As a Detroiter, I loved that Walt and Steve had that connection as well and while waiting, we could discuss the city. From Rob's LinkedIn post, I found @ryanbeckwith's "Your First Byline" and been keeping it open (and subscribed) because as a PR person, I like to know what makes a journalist tick and as a human who likes stories, I just like knowing stories. yourfirstbyline.substack.com…

Pretty sad that @Gannett @USATODAY network papers across the country are clickbaiting the mythical @DOGE “dividend check” sham — as scammers are using it as a pretext to defraud the gullible. Here’s a great debunk from @ryanbeckwith msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

Thanks @ryanbeckwith for asking me to write about my first byline! It was fun to revisit the story I did with @dannydoodar on NYC’s horse carriages over a decade ago for @WNYC. yourfirstbyline.substack.com…

I got to talk about why I’m so fond of the Dat Boi cycling frog meme, which goes back to my first internship at the Albany @timesunion. Thank you to @ryanbeckwith for having me on!

One of the big mistakes Dems made in 2024 was not having an immigration message that spoke to American strength and security. Trump’s immigration vision is clear - selling American birthright and heritage to the highest bidder. My latest for @MSNBC msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…

NEW: A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub, as of this week. The staffer, Jordan Wick, also created a repository for a Twitter DM-downloading tool just 3 days ago. He posted work on geospatial data in Jan—undersea cables, ports & “critical minerals.”

Here’s some advice I wish I had been given when I first started traveling for stories. I hope it comes in handy for other reporters out there. Did I miss anything? (Also Thanks for pulling this together, @ryanbeckwith!) yourfirstbyline.substack.com…
