“I've worked with Lance Whitney for the past five years, and he was a valuable asset to the CNET News team. Lance proactively pitched stories and had a good sense of the trending headlines that popped up each morning. He is flexible and doesn't mind edits and suggestions. Throughout his tenure, we changed our approached and raised our bar in terms of the quality of the stories we write. Lance has always been willing to raise his game to meet those higher demands. I would recommend Lance for any general assignment news position in tech. ”
