Rose Lincoln began as a staff writer and photographer at the Bethel Citizen in October 2022. She and her husband, Mick, and three children have been part time residents in Bethel for 30 years and are happy to now be here full time. Rose previously worked as a staff photographer at Harvard University and freelance photographer at the Boston Globe and at several Boston colleges. She remembers fondly the start of her career as a staff photographer for a chain of weekly newspapers, surrounded by writers who vied to assign her to their town's stories. She next worked for several years at The Patriot Ledger, a daily in Quincy, Massachusetts. She has won several national and regional awards for her photography. Writing full stories (and not just cutlines for photos) is a new and exciting endeavor and she appreciates your patience as she tries to get it all right.
