PoliticsPA’s Next Chapter

Brittany FosterAs a longtime reader of and writer for PoliticsPA, I couldn’t be more excited for next year. I’ll be taking over for Keegan Gibson as the site’s Managing Editor.

Keegan and I will be working on this transition over the next several weeks until I begin full time on January 1, 2014. We wanted to give you the opportunity to get to know me before I take over the site.

A little bit about me:

I will begin at PoliticsPA with a Master of Arts in Politics and Policy from Lehigh University, where I was a Presidential Scholar.

While in graduate school, I was an outreach coordinator for a local non-profit called Renew Lehigh Valley. At night, I covered local government for WFMZ 69-News as a freelance web reporter.

I grew up in Mechanicsburg and I will be based in Harrisburg and the Lehigh Valley.

Previously, I was at public affairs firm Triad Strategies in Harrisburg, writing content for the firm’s blog and clients, and doing policy research for their team of lobbyists and PR pros. I’ve worked in constituent services at the state and federal level, as well as on a congressional campaign. I first wrote for PoliticsPA in 2011 and now I’m glad to be back.

PoliticsPA has earned its reputation as a top source for campaign news. I’m committed to maintaining the level of quality that you have come to expect. My goal is to continue reliable and fair coverage of elections, legislation and every other political niche in Pennsylvania.

This site has thrived for more than ten years as a one-stop shop for Pennsylvania politics and the model of original reporting with a dash of fun features has proven to be popular. I would love to see the site grow even further, expanding our content to cover more of D.C. happenings, without sacrificing our coverage of state politics. PoliticsPA has the opportunity to be a preeminent news source at a time when the business of news is changing rapidly. I hope to steer us in that direction.

And Keegan isn’t going anywhere. He will stay on board, writing regularly and handling the advertising accounts for the site.

I’m honored to take the reins of PoliticsPA and I look forward to hearing from you. Don’t hesitate to share your feedback, suggestions for the site, and as always, your tips.
