Lahman to leave Rochester Democrat & Chronicle after 13 years

Sean Lahman, a data watchdog reporter at USA Today’s Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, wrote on Twitter:

“I’m leaving the @DandC and the newspaper business at the end of June. I have always loved the work and there’s nothing, absolutely nothing as exciting as the buzz of a vibrant newsroom. Wasn’t an easy decision, and I’ll miss my colleagues terribly.

“It has been an honor to spend 13 years writing for my hometown paper, the one I grew up reading.”

Previously, Lahman freelanced and was a reporter/columnist at The New York Sun, where he covered baseball and pro football beats. He also wrote a column focused on statistical analysis.

Lahman has degrees from the University of Cincinnati and the University of California, Berkeley.
