The Record North Shore is a nonprofit, independent media outlet that relies on public financial support to produce its nonpartisan journalism.
While attending ӽ, Marty served as executive editor of the campus newspaper (The ӽ Star). After graduating from ӽ, Marty was editor of The Northbrook Tower where he “fell in love with hyper-local journalism.”
After The Northbrook Tower folded under duress of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marty and his co-founders wasted no time planning the new media group. They launched a Kickstarter campaign and created a video with members of the community at the forefront.
In addition to writing byline stories and editing content for The Record North Shore, Marty co-hosts a podcast. The topics, naturally, are laser-focused on what matters to their listeners.
