Nicki Mayo is a multimedia journalist based in Maryland. She’s a national correspondent for AP Radio. She most recently worked as the Baltimore correspondent for E.W. Scripps' national entertainment news magazine "The List" airing weekdays on WMAR-TV ABC2. It's a homecoming for Nicki, since ABC2 was her first internship. Prior to joining "The List" Nicki covered hyperlocal community news in Anne Arundel County for Aol.com as the Local Editor for Crofton Patch covering Crofton and Gambrills, Maryland. Nicki helped launch YNN Buffalo, a 24hour Time Warner Cable news station, in 2009. There she spent two years covering Western New York local and New York State politics, including the 2010 gubernatorial race. Before Buffalo, Nicki headed to the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in the Tri-Cities (TN/VA) where she covered news on a multimedia platform. The News Channel 11 Morning Reporter and Tricities.com Content Coordinator developed stories for Media General’s WJHL-TV, The Bristol Herald Courier & Tricities.com. Before heading to the Volunteer State, Nicki shined in the Sunshine State at SNN News 6 in Sarasota, FL as a Reporter and Producer. The convergence market also gave her a chance to write for the Sarasota Herald Tribune (a New York Times newspaper). Nicki began her journalistic career in Central New York reporting for National Public Radio at WAER-FM while attending Syracuse University. The Baltimore City native returned home to “Charm City” as an associate producer for WJZ-TV 13 (CBS). Mayo soon headed to the nation’s capitol and former internship BET News and Public Affairs. Here she produced segments for BET Nightly News, BET Tonight with Tavis Smiley, Ed Gordon, and Jacque Reid as well as Lead Story with Cheryl Martin. The Marylander stayed close to home reporting for CTV 76 in “gorgeous” Prince George’s County and as an English teacher for Prince George’s County Schools. Nicki is a member of National Association of Black Journalists and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
