Hey there, I’m Jessica Doherty. I’m a multimedia writer, editor, and content producer from New York City living in Los Angeles.
I am currently the Associate Editorial Director of Center Theatre Group in Los Angeles, where I produce editorial content about the programming of one of the largest regional theater companies in the nation. I’m also a Researcher with Hearst’s Alta Journal, a Contributor to The Eastsider LA, and the Reported Features Editor for Crybaby Press’ The Dry River. This year, I am a 2023 Foot in the Door Fellow with the Los Angeles Press Club.
In May 2020, I graduated from the University of Southern California with a B.A. in Journalism and a B.A. in Theatre. I continued my education at USC and graduated with an M.A. in Specialized Journalism (The Arts) focusing on arts, culture, and entertainment reporting in May 2022. I write about the arts, entertainment, internet culture, music, breaking news, and more. I’m a five-time finalist for the Los Angeles Press Club Awards, and one of my pieces won a second-place award for Best Commentary/Analysis of TV/Film Across Print, Radio, TV, and Online.
At the heart of all my interests lies a desire to tell and share stories. Let’s tell some together!
