Journalism Clips | Jennifer Hines Bridgers

I received my B.S. in communication with a concentration in journalism from East Carolina University in 2017. While in school, I held several positions at The East Carolinian, ECU’s student newspaper, including Arts & Entertainment reporter and editor, as well as produced an award show in Las Vegas as part of a team. Since graduation, I have written several freelance articles as well as written monthly articles for Welcome to Tarboro Magazine.

I am proficient in both print and video journalism. I love creating video news packages as well as writing feature articles. My experience has also provided me with an understanding for AP style, the ability to meet all deadlines and an eye for editing content.

Below are samples of my work in both print and video journalism.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to see more of my work!
