Publisher & Editor-in-Chief
Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, DMV.NEWS — covering Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
Legal name: Nicholas Day Evangelisti
Nick Angel is the founder, publisher, and Editor-in-Chief of DMV.NEWS — an independent regional news platform built for the people who actually live, work, and raise families in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. He oversees every desk on the site, from Capitol Bureau and Crime Watch to The Arena, The Food Court, and the Neighborhood Beat.
Nick started DMV.NEWS because regional news in the DMV had become a mix of rewritten national wire copy, paywalled metro dailies, and TV station segments built for broadcast first and readers second. The goal here is simple: cover what's happening across the region, in plain language, with real sourcing — and treat the reader's time and trust as the only metrics that matter.
DMV.NEWS does not republish or recap other outlets' coverage. RSS, social posts, and competitor segments are catalysts — they tell us a story exists. The story we publish is always written in our own voice, with our own corroborated sourcing.
Every story has to matter to someone in DC, Maryland, or Virginia. We don't force a DMV angle onto national wire stories, and we don't cover regions outside our service area.
DMV.NEWS uses AI tools to help draft, edit, and research stories. Every published article passes through editorial review, every quote is verbatim and cited, and the byline reflects who owns the work.
When we get something wrong, we correct it on the original article with a visible note. No silent edits. Tips and corrections go directly to Nick at [email protected].
Each desk has its own editor and beat, but every desk reports up to Nick. He sets the editorial standards, owns corrections, and signs off on byline policy across the site.
Got a tip, a correction, or a story we're missing? Nick reads every message personally. The fastest paths:
