About

Marc Lancaster

Throughout a 17-year career spent primarily as a sports reporter and editor, I’ve had the opportunity to cover everything from major-college football and professional tennis to the World Series and the Super Bowl.

Producing quick, clean and accurate copy on deadline became second nature as I spent six years covering Major League Baseball beats in Tampa and Cincinnati, but I also have years of experience turning out more in-depth features and projects.

My time as an editor/producer for two national websites has honed my knack for catching mistakes in copy and provided plenty of practice in writing both snappy and SEO-friendly headlines.

More recently, I have helped manage a department as deputy sports editor, with a focus on story budgeting and short- and long-term planning for print and the web.

My other interests include travel, craft beer, World War II, national parks and baseball history. Thankfully, my wife, Sarah, embraces many of those interests and tolerates the rest. I'm sure my son will learn to do the same.
