Veteran music journalist Evan Rytlewski is named web editor of WYMS-FM (88Nine Radio) Milwaukee. He's been music editor for the weekly and online Shepherd Express for 13 years, where he covered all corners of the Milwaukee music scene. Rytlewski's also been a regular contributor to Pitchfork, which has published a variety of his features and more than 100 album reviews. His work has appeared in Paste, Under the Radar, American Songwriter and Rap-Up magazines.

88Nine Director of Content Nate Imig said that in Rytlewski's new role as web editor, he will write about the Milwaukee music scene and edit the work of other contributors to the station's website, www.RadioMilwaukee.org. Rytlewski will also help elevate the content the station creates around local and national artists. Additionally, he'll be the primary feature writer for the website, spearheading the site's monthly "showcase" stories that dig more deeply into one topic or issue.

"Adding such an experienced writer steeped in the Milwaukee music scene really ups our digital game," said Imig. "Evan has built a stellar reputation as a thoughtful and talented music writer and journalist. His stellar writing and editing will allow us to build on RadioMilwaukee.org's solid foundation as a source for in-depth coverage of the Milwaukee music scene. Evan's work will help us offer even more breadth to the thousands who visit our website every week."

"Radio Milwaukee has been an invaluable advocate for the city and its music scene," added Rytlewski. "It's an honor to join a staff so passionate and creative, and I look forward to helping the station expand its online presence while continuing to cover the music that I love."
