Grant Whitfield is the Editor-in-Chief of Amazing News Media. He sets the publication's editorial direction, assigns and edits its coverage, and reviews every story before it is published. He is based in Columbus, Ohio.
Grant has spent about two decades in regional and digital newsrooms. He started on a night copy desk, writing headlines and checking facts on deadline, then moved to the city desk, where he edited coverage of local government, courts, schools and business. Later he ran digital news operations, building the routines that let a small team publish fast without cutting corners on accuracy. Those years taught him a simple rule he still edits by: if a fact cannot be traced to a named source, it does not run.
At Amazing News Media he oversees every U.S. section: national news, business, technology, entertainment, science and sports. His editorial vision is plain-spoken, well-sourced news for readers who want to understand what happened and why it matters, without spin or noise. Each story is built from at least two credible, named sources, such as official statements, public records, court and agency filings, and established news organizations. Sources are linked so readers can check the evidence themselves, and quotes appear only when they are verbatim from a cited source.
Grant also owns the publication's standards. He reviews correction requests personally and believes a newsroom earns trust by saying clearly what it got wrong and what it changed. Read more in our Editorial Process, Corrections Policy and AI Content Disclosure.
Outside the newsroom, Grant is a lifelong baseball fan, a regular at Columbus farmers markets on weekend mornings and an enthusiastic, if slow, long-distance cyclist.
