Jessica Picard
Jessica Picard has joined the staff of The Lincoln County News as a general assignment reporter. Picard will cover the towns of Bristol, Damariscotta, Newcastle, and South Bristol, as well as Monhegan Plantation.
Picard graduated in December from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism and communication, as well as a minor in political science.
Her previous experience includes interning and then freelancing for the Worcester Telegram and Gazette as a photojournalist and with Worcester Magazine as a reporter, as well as being the photo editor and a copy editor at her college newspaper, The Massachusetts Daily Collegian.
Picard has a passion for telling stories through both her pen and camera lens. She knew she wanted to be a journalist after taking a TV Production class in high school, which involved producing the school’s news show. She is very excited to be joining the Lincoln County community, and to start telling its stories.
Originally from Douglas, Mass., she now lives in Newcastle.
