Upcoming Eventide University Classes

Local News, Lifestyle and History Reporter Tracy Briggs

May 17 at 2 p.m. at Sheyenne Crossings Apartments in West Fargo

Tracy began her career as a broadcast journalist - producing, reporting and anchoring the news at WDAY-TV. The love of history stories started then when Tracy did a yearlong series on North Dakota's Centennial in 1989 and another yearlong series, "Our Century" in 1999 about the biggest 20th century news in our region. The following year, the series "Our People" covered notable people in our communities. After 17 years in television news, Tracy wanted a schedule more conducive to being a mom of two young children. So she took a job as a morning drive time radio talk show host in 2005, where she headed up the WDAY Honor Flight project from 2006 to 2008. She's been working in digital content and multimedia news with Inforum and The Forum since 2010. During her stint she wrote and appeared in two weekly lifestyle segments, "The Great Indoors," and "The Scoop with Tracy Briggs," which focused largely on food and baking. In the past year, she turned her focus to history and,in addition to regular history features, contributes to The Vault podcast. After graduating from South High in Fargo in 1982, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of North Dakota in 1986 and a Master of Arts in Mass Communication from North Dakota State University in 2001. When she's not in the archives or writing, she loves to bake, do genealogy and unwind with way too much TV. She also loves to spend time with her husband and two daughters (Four daughters, if you count her two crazy dogs, McKenna and Winnipeg).
