From New Media Strategies to Air America

After six years in Washington, D.C., Jen Nedeau is heading to New York City to become Director of Digital Strategy at Air America Media, where she will be reporting to the former DC-ite, Michael Bassik, who is the current Chief Digital Officer.

Nedeau began her career in political journalism and has been published by the likes of NewYorkTimes.com, Washingtonpost.com and Stateline.org; she has been a fellow at the Israel Embassy, worked on independent studies for Stephen Hess at The Brookings Institute and spent the past 18 months sharpening her online marketing skills at New Media Strategies. While in New York, Nedeau will continue her part-time gig as Editor of the Women’s Rights blog at Change.org as well as her volunteer position as the National Technology Chair with the New Leaders Council, a non-profit that offers exclusive training for young progressive leaders. You can keep up with her jet-setting in stilettos by following her on Twitter @Humanfolly.

2009 is shaping up to be a pretty good year for Jen: she knocked off Katie Harbarth in the FamousDC Twitter Bracket Challenge and now all of this Air America business.

FamousDC wishes Jen the best of luck in the Big Apple .
