Christian replaces Nic Custer, who served as the magazine’s first managing editor since the death of his uncle, Gary Custer, in 2015. Nic Custer will continue to serve as a staff writer but is pursuing other commitments after years as an EVM bulwark and volunteer.
“We are delighted to welcome Meghan’s energy and fresh perspective,” Jan Worth-Nelson, EVM editor, said. “Her proven editing expertise, intelligence, and deep interest in Flint will help East Village Magazine enrich and continue its tradition of first-rate community journalism.”
