Hello, I'm David Streever, an award-winning journalist, author and editor.
I'm the digital content manager for WXXI in Rochester, NY. I've also been the digital news editor for VPM and the former editor-in-chief of RVA Magazine.
I've also written travel guides for bicyclists, and have a few non-fiction book projects I'm pitching.
Have something you think I'd cover? Want to go for a bike ride? Please email me questions, news tips, or inquiries—I'm always looking for my next scoop.
