digital storytellerI am Tyler Dedrick, Audience Manager at Mountain State Spotlight in Charleston, West Virginia.
I spent five years in the digital marketing industry. I worked at digital marketing agencies and in-house at a nonprofit organization. In December 2022 I completed a graduate degree in Investigative Journalism at Arizona State University Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I hope to bring my experience analyzing data and building digital communities to the journalism space. I want to tell smart, accessible stories that inform readers and build audiences. |
