"Jefferson joins us from City and State, where he was the state politics reporter covering state government, elections and major legislative debates. Previously, his reporting appeared in the Daily Freeman, Chronogram Magazine and The Legislative Gazette. Having grown up in the Hudson Valley, he's always happy to argue about where Upstate New York truly begins (counterpoint: it begins above Westchester County)."
"J.K. Trotter began his role as Associate Editor last week. Prior to his ascension to the lofty post of covering the livable streets movement, Trotter covered media and politics at Gawker and served as an editor on the investigative unit at Business Insider. He studied philosophy at St. John's College and lives in Queens. His philosophy in a nutshell? Hard work makes safe streets."
Streetsblog NYC has expanded its newsroom by hiring Austin C. Jefferson as Albany Bureau Chief and J.K. Trotter as Associate Editor, and by promoting Deputy Editor David Meyer to managing editor. Jefferson will spearhead coverage of the state legislature and upstate New York for a forthcoming Streetsblog Empire State spinoff, bringing experience from City and State and local knowledge of the Hudson Valley. Trotter will cover the livable streets movement after reporting and editing roles at Gawker and Business Insider; he studied philosophy and emphasizes that hard work creates safe streets. The outlet positions itself to energize transit, cycling, and reduce car dominance amid political shifts.
