Scott B. Scanlon

I worked 18 years in a variety of beats at the Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie Tribune in Florida and The Syracuse Newspapers before serving from 2004 to 2024 as an editor and enterprise reporter at my dominant hometown news outlet, The Buffalo News. I took a buyout in October 2024 to save another reporter's job and am embarking on a freelance journey. My focus in the last two years has been primarily health, wellness and solutions-based journalism. I've freelanced craft beer stories for The Buffalo News the last dozen years and see nothing incongruous, in moderation, with those interests. My aim is to keep writing, traveling and learning.
