Hello, I'm David Streever, a media executive, award-winning journalist, author and programmer.
I'm the Director of Digital Product and strategy for WXXI in Rochester, NY. I've led and created digital teams that have made a big impact in traditional media.
Before journalism, I developed content management system sites for major corporations and startups. I've also written travel guides for bicyclists, and have a few non-fiction book projects I'm pitching.
This is an old portfolio website. I'm no longer pitching articles or seeking new consulting clients, but am always excited to talk bikes, journalism or digital transofrmation. Please email me if you want to get in touch.
