Mark Sabbatini
Journalist • Editor • Web designer

Unlike most, I don't mind being thought of as a hot prospect who's cooled off.

I've been a reporter and editor for various news publications since 1991, doing lots of photography and Web programming along the way. My earlier days includes a stint covering the police beat for the Los Angeles Times, but my love of colder and more remote places has led to recent jobs such as Sunday editor of the daily newspaper in Alaska's capital city and overhauling the Web site as a co-editor of The Antarctic Sun at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

Hundreds of examples of my work are available from the archives of the above publications, with a few featured samples below.
