Bio
Joey Baker does community management at Meraki as the marketing intern. He recently served as the communications intern for NewsTrust, a non-profit centered around evaluating journalism and promoting media literacy.
A self proclaimed geek, Baker grew up on the web and first began working in the tech industry by designing user-experience and user interface customization for a small web design firm.
As a student at Syracuse University, Baker served at The Daily Orange as photo editor for a year. Where he transitioned the department to a first-class workflow, and tripled the size of the department. The following year, Joey served in the newly created position of Exponent of the Evolution, where he led The Daily Orange in the creation of a blog network, established a video journalism department, and brought the DO into the social media world.
In 2008 he went on to be a founding-member of CoPress, a new, national, non-profit organization centered around the creation of a technical ecosystem for college media. As the business manager, he has personally witnessed the response around the nation. CoPress is expanding rapidly and plans to be supporting 35 colleges by the end of this summer.
Joey is an avid consumer and debater in the 'new media' revolution. His acclaimed and convincing blog posts and tweets have been recognized by many. He is equally interested in the creation of good content as he is with sustainable web-business models which will restore the journalism industry.
In his other life, Joey is an EMT, an active backpacker (a throwback to his Eagle Scout days) and has excellent taste in beer. He is available for consultation regarding the evolution of towards ‘new media’.
He would also like you to know that he did not write his own bio, and is a little uncomfortable having so many kind words said about himself.
