Media Moves

Mather moves to the NY Times’ Express team

The following excerpt was sent out from The New York Times’ Patrick LaForge:

Victor Mather

We have some great news: Victor Mather will be moving from Sports to the Express Team in September.

Victor has reported breaking stories in dozens of sports – not just baseball, basketball and football, but cricket, fencing, darts and snooker. He would often out-Express Express. On many mornings, we would spot a great breaking or viral story only to learn he was writing or had already filed. Over the years, he has also written about the opera, lexicology, cruciverbalism, dog shows, the color blue and the proper recipe for an Arnold Palmer (the iced tea should dominate the flavor). Before The Times, he worked for a variety of publications, including a crossword puzzle magazine (see, “cruciverbalism,” above), a news service for libraries and two different horse-racing newspapers.

Along the way, Victor has set some records. He has been to five Olympics for The Times. In 2016, he consulted a Carnegie Mellon professor to optimize how many Olympic events he could attend and cover in a single day. He made it to 13.

Please congratulate Victor and welcome him into the fold.
