Jamie Goldberg is a freelance journalist and student at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism, where she is focusing on multimedia and print platforms. A former varsity college softball player, Jamie has a particular passion for sports reporting. But she’s recently found herself drawn to political reporting as well.

This summer she covered national politics as an intern at the Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau, where she was required to pitch and write stories on deadline. She is currently an assistant editor at the hyperlocal news site Mission Local, where she has covered San Francisco politics, local sports, and various other topics.

Sports reporting brought Jamie to The Oregonian in 2011, where, as the sole sports department intern, she wrote a range of features, profiles, gamers, and enterprise stories, while also serving as the second beat reporter covering the Portland Timbers.

In the summer of 2010, while interning at The Marin Independent Journal, a daily newspaper in Marin County, California, Jamie pitched and wrote an enterprise piece on sports anxiety. The article placed second in the 2010 California Newspaper Publishers Association’s Better Newspaper Contest for Best Sports Story for a professional newspaper circulation 25,000-100,000.

Jamie has also worked at Wireless and Mobile News, where she wrote for a web only publication and used social media to promote the website. In addition, she honed her broadcast skills interning for the sports department at KRON 4 News in San Francisco and the news department at KPFA Radio in Berkeley.

Jamie graduated from Pomona College in May 2011 with a degree in Politics.
