Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Kasdyn Click is the founder and editor-in-chief of Presence News, leading its mission to blend creativity and modern journalism. Before founding the publication, he operated several event logistics and rental companies across the East Coast. Passionate about storytelling and media innovation, Kasdyn continues to expand Presence News. He is also studying Modern Journalism with NYU and Rolling Stone magazine.
In 2021, Kasdyn published his first book, After High School: Guide to Success, which marked the beginning of his writing career. He soon began producing press releases for clients, friends, and his own companies. By 2025, his individual articles were already reaching hundreds of readers per piece, even without his own publishing platform.
When government regulations and local bureaucracy began to affect his event businesses, Kasdyn decided to shift his focus to writing full-time. Within two months of launching Presence News, the publication reached over 400,000 monthly views across its website and social media accounts. Today, the outlet has published more than 500 articles. Kasdyn continues to expand his journalistic craft through Modern Journalism courses with New York University (NYU). This is in partnership with Rolling Stone magazine.
Despite being early in its growth phase, Presence News has already built a loyal audience and is steadily increasing its reach. As Kasdyn puts it,
“It’s not about how much money we’re making right now — it’s about the voice we’ve built and the stories we get to tell every day.”
