Haley Jones
Journalism and Communications
I am currently working as the first full-time female sports reporter in my company's history, covering high school and college sports in Lewiston, ME.
I am also a 2023-2024 Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellow, which is through the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, FL.
ABOUT
I started my reporting role in December 2022 after graduating from college in May 2022. I love working on the print side of journalism for a weekly paper! I have worked as a staff writer and news editor for my college newspaper, The Occidental, and served as Editor in Chief for my high school paper. My interest in investigative journalism has led me to start exploring career opportunities within journalism.
