About

Maureen Green

For nearly three decades I broadcast the news in Syracuse, New York, mostly at WTVH-TV.  I had a thrilling career interviewing news makers, and I traveled, sometimes internationally, to bring the news home to Central New York.

I was fortunate to be honored with numerous professional awards for my reporting and with two lifetime achievement awards recognizing the body of my work through the years.  I got some silly attention too, like “Best Hair” from the Syracuse New Times.  Recalling how I used to hijack all conversation at the dinner table, my dad joked that I found a job that actually paid me to talk.

The most meaningful part of my job was in meeting ordinary people who were all extraordinary in some way.  I thank each one of them for granting me an interview, sometimes under traumatic circumstances, and the countless others who watched from home, then complimented my work from the line at the bank or the grocery store or the mall.  Having grown up in New England, a region I still love, I will say Syracusans are the warmest people I’ve ever met. Maybe it’s the brutal winters that bring out the glow in other ways.

My glorious ride came to an end with the start of the recession in December of 2007 and indeed it followed for everyone at WTVH-TV in March, 2009, when the entire news operation of my historic station came to an end.  Pity.

Now, like so many others, I’m surfing the next wave; harnessing expertise from all those years in the newsroom to help individuals and businesses with online marketing.  I’m a social media/online community manager. Can I help you grow in this ever-evolving digital world?
