Adam C. Kleinheider

“Adam is every managers dream. Smart, motivated and tireless. He helped create a blog that became a must read for political junkies to everyday folks. He aggregated the best from local bloggers and added his own content as well. He gained the station local, statewide and national attention.”

“Adam is a political junkie, and I mean that as a compliment. Combining a sharp wit with strong analytical skills, he does a great job keeping his finger on the pulse of local, regional and national politics. Keeping up with his blog posts and social media updates is a great way to stay informed.”

“While my relationship with A.C. (Adam) falls outside the traditional boundaries of a LinkedIn "category," I certainly can endorse the role he's played in providing me a great source of daily insight, news and commentary. He's a master of the improvisational, fast-moving yet thoughtful type of reporting, news curation and analysis that are the hallmarks of a new form of journalism the web has enabled -- and that A.C. was early to embrace and help define.”

“A. C. Kleinheider is a consumate professional with a keen wit and a commanding knowledge of modern digital media and social networking. I became familiar with A.C. through his thoughtful coverage of politics, business and celebrities through two aggregation sites he ran in Nashville ... one for a local television station and the other for a local media company. In both cases, A.C.'s work attracted the movers and shakers of the city to his site on a daily (if not hourly) basis. His sly social and political commentary (through brilliant headlines) made for quick and efficient reading. If you wanted to know if something important had happened in the world ... a quick check of A.C.'s site would give you the peace of mind you needed in order to return to your other, more mundane, tasks. It is worth noting that when A.C. moved on from both places there was a general hue and cry from high information consumers because there simply wasn't another place to go to get the same comprehensive overview of national and local media themes, trends and activity. I have found him to be fair, trustworthy and conscientious. We didn't always agree but he was always a gentleman ... a rare and enviable quality. I believe his considerable skills would stand him in good stead no matter what endeavor attracts his notable talent.”

“Adam has proven time and again that he is the most tapped in political blogger in the state of Tennessee. His following runs the gamut, from the person with a casual political interest to those in the state's inner political circle. His passion for the topic is what sets him apart from the rest, and he's a real class act.”

“A.C. is a dogged reporter and astute political analyst whose blog is a must-read for all who want to know what is going on in the Nashville scene.”

“I find delight in Kleinheider's voracious appetite for perspectives. He takes in a large volume of information, chews on it, parcels it and serves up a helping of reflection that is stimulating and thought provoking. In a day and time filled with noise, Kleinheider pulls important notes from the fracas.”

“A.C. is an incredible blogger and employee. His work ethic is unparalleled and it is not uncommon to see posts showing up from 4 AM until 12 AM. Breaking news is truly his business. He is an artist at weaving headlines from various media outlets to provide readers a well encompassing view of all things happening in the political sphere in Nashville. All of which are relevant and very interesting. He has a knack for encouraging healthy communication and conversation about important political happenings in and around our community.”

“Adam is so much more than a blogger and the site he produces, Post Politics, is so much more than just a blog. With his ability to suss out the news and opinion that is most relevant on any given day, Adam has created a community where Tennesseans go for up-to-the-minute updates on the ever-changing political and legislative landscape. His reputation as the go-to guy for the latest is well-deserved, enhanced by a work ethic that can best be described as consistent and exceptional. Adam also has a curious mind and by using his natural ability and instinct has merged the roles of journalist and blog producer seamlessly to produce commentary that is both pointed and insightful.”

“A.C. has created the must-read blog for political, journalism, and government professionals in Tennessee. Skipping PostPolitics is like skipping a meal: possible, but not conducive to long-term viability.”

“It's no secret: Kleinheider gets the pageviews. He also gets people talking. With in-depth commentary and pithy blog headlines, he starts and furthers the political discussion in this state and beyond. He is an aggregator with an unmatched work ethic, and the producer of original content that cannot be ignored. It should go without saying that a professional blogger needs a solid understanding of the web and all that's involved in producing content for--and effectively disseminating it to--online audiences. It doesn't. Adam gets it.”

“A.C. Kleinheider (or Adam, as we also call him) is the hardest-working, most authoritative, and most complete source there is for political information in the state of Tennessee. He facilitates the work of everybody else in the field and is genuinely indispensable.”

“A.C. understands politics and the political motivations of its participants more thoroughly than even some politicians. Watching him cover the bloodsport has been a treat as readers witness referential comedy, absurdity, insight, provocation, and, surprisingly, truth in the evolution of a new form of journalism. He is his own brand.”

“A.C. Kleinheider has an incredible talent for writing. He has extensive knowledge in the internet and blogging worlds and would be an asset to any company.”

“A.C. is a talented writer and a fabulous blogger. He's a man of his word, which means a lot to this flack. If I could hire him I would!”

“Adam is consistently dedicated to his work and produced a widely read blog that was a first read for many who follow Tennessee politics. Adam's dedication had him working well outside the typical 9-5, and he did it out of a love for what he does. He successfully leveraged his evolving knowledge of the community to take readers further behind a story by linking to many perspectives from area bloggers. Adam paid very close attention to his audience metrics on almost an hourly basis. That level of detail has given Adam a keen sense as to what people want to read and what story angles are more likely to reach a wider audience. He was also open to learning about search optimization techniques to widen his reach and various technical aspects of online publishing incase others weren't around to help fix problems outside the scope of his work.”

“A.C. is a tenacious hard-working individual. He is an excellent writer and especially thorough researcher. For any potential employer, you will not be disappointed. This guy would be a great hire and would be a strong asset to any organization.”
