Our Team
We have a wonderful team of people behind the scenes at Nebraska Meadowlark from all around the state and region. Each and every one of their contributions is invaluable.
Nicolette “Nico” L. Emerson is our wordsmith. She is an observer of politics in small town Nebraska, especially as it pertains to education, school boards, and adults who want to decide the direction of the next generation. She comes from a journalistic family and launched Nebraska Meadowlark after seeing an alarming uptick in conspiracy theorists getting elected throughout the state.
Jade Buttercup is our researcher and fact-checker. When it comes to analysis, her areas of expertise are the intersection of religion and science, especially when it comes to nature vs. the Bible. Her motto is “Sources, sources, sources.”
Serendipty Veritas is our researcher and copy editor. She has a passion for uncovering the truths others would rather keep hidden. In addition to Nebraska, she keeps an eye on education news in the nation as a whole, so we have a better understanding of how changes from state to state might impact us in Nebraska.
Emmet Licht is our researcher, with a special focus on investigating hypocrisy in religion and politics. He is also the inspiration for our mascot.
Nebraska Meadowlark is independent, and we call it like we see it. We are focused on publishing long-form, multi-part content about big problems in small towns.
Though we are not taking contributions (we recommend Seeing Red Nebraska if you would like to guest post), we welcome tips and leads on matters pertaining to Nebraska schools, boards of education, book banning, government officials behaving badly, and more to expose hate groups, hypocrites, and elected officials trying to control our lives. Please email us at NicoLE@nebraskameadowlark.com.
