Welcome to my renovated web site! My name is Nick Meador, and I'm a 2008 graduate of the Masters of Journalism program at MSU. I also received a Bachelors of Science from MSU in 2005.

During grad school, I specialized in online news production and environmental journalism. I have professional experience with online publishing, social media utilization, digital marketing (including search engine optimization), blog installation and maintenance, and HTML-based web development (with CSS, JavaScript, and Ajax manipulation). I enjoy managing content in a web environment, including text, photo, audio, and video.

I'm currently working as Web Content Administrator for Michigan Radio, the NPR news station in Ann Arbor. Before that I completed internships at Traverse Magazine in Traverse City, UR Chicago Magazine in Chicago, the Nature Convservancy in Lansing, and Ingenex Digital Marketing in Ann Arbor. For two years I was a columnist for NOISE, the alternative weekly newspaper published by Lansing State Journal.

I founded and edited the MusicEdge section at MSU student publication SpartanEdge.com, and I still act as advisor to the paper. As a final project for my Masters degree, I developed an online magazine called Supraterranean.com where writers, filmmakers, and artists can self-publish their creative work.

Beyond my professional activities, I keep busy with many other projects. I have two blogs of my own and I'm passionate about creative writing. I also have fun with video production, graphic editing, and audio experimentation.

This portfolio is intended to be a nearly comprehensive guide to everything that I work on. Take your time, look around, and enjoy!
