About

I am currently creating news packages for the Southeastern Channel news show, “Northshore News”, an open circuit college television station that reaches over 250,000 households across Tangipahoa, St. Tammany, Livingston, and Washington parishes in southeast Louisiana. I am experienced in producing, scheduling, writing, creating voiceovers, VOSOTs, conducting interviews (including MOTS), doing standups, and shooting and editing my own video. I stayed in studio for three days at FOX 8 News New Orleans as an intern through Hurricane Issac. I I took pictures, answered phones, and ran teleprompter for anchors. "Nick is bright, dependable and serious with an excellent work ethic -- he goes the “extra mile” to make his stories work well. He is a self-starter who takes the “one-man band” & “backpack journalist” roles to heart, not only writing but also shooting and editing his own stories. – Rick Settoon, General Manager, The Southeastern Channel
