Social and Political Commentary
After founding Melted Reel Online, Mark Casey was hired on as a columnist for his hometown newspaper, the Hendricks County Flyer. Almost immediately, his columns were picked up for syndication nationally by companies such as the Georgetown Media Group in Washington D.C., as well as several others.
