How to break into journalism in 2026 w/ @ryanbeckwith open.substack.com/pub/mediabistr…

Hire Brittany!

Just posting here so that my account isn't declared abandoned and auctioned off to persons unknown.

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/p/my-first-byl…

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/p/my-first-byl…

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-…

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/p/my-first-byl…

➡️ @ryanbeckwith honored with Commentary – Online for the @MSNBC.com piece “I’m an Eagle Scout. A new name won't change what the Boy Scouts did.”

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!

I did a li'l thing for one of my favorite journo Substacks. Thanks for the opportunity to look back on my early career and cringe, @ryanbeckwith yourfirstbyline.substack.com/p/my-first-byl…

How to Understand Border Crossing Numbers Smart explainer by veteran immigration reporter @aacaldwellLA on how to read the numbers Q&A w/@ryanbeckwith yourfirstbyline.substack.com/p/how-to-under…

My thoughts on how to get into journalism open.substack.com/pub/depthperce…

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-…

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/p/how-to-plan-…

Last month, I was interviewed by @ryanbeckwith for his newsletter for new and aspiring journalists, @yourfirstbyline, about obtaining public records. If you need help or advice on obtaining public records in California, email me at byarbrough@scng.com yourfirstbyline.substack.com/p/how-to-reque…

I rarely get to write about the Pacific Northwest, so please take a moment to read this msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

I wrote a thing for @yourfirstbyline about the dos and don'ts of Capitol Hill scrums. Thanks for the opportunity, @ryanbeckwith! yourfirstbyline.substack.com/p/how-to-inter…

🚨ALERT! Today's the deadline for congressional and presidential campaigns — as well as lots of political action committees — to file a new round of (potentially revealing) campaign💰disclosures. I've got you covered in @yourfirstbyline on what to do. yourfirstbyline.substack.com/p/how-to-cover…
