About Me:
Hi, I’m Josie.
I’m an audience engagement, social media journalist. I’m currently based in Florida, where I’m the audience director at PolitiFact, the United States’ largest political fact-checking newsroom. I’m the audience specialist at the Poynter Institute.
I was always the kind of student who really liked a group project. The planning, the meeting, the editing, the iterations. The final reveal! Project management, social media, graphic design, copy editing all under a deadline? Sounds amazing. I can do that, all with an eye to the user.
Before PolitiFact, I worked as an online news producer at the Tampa Bay Times and The Seattle Times. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2015) with bachelor’s degrees in interactive multimedia journalism and Spanish literature.
