Chief Copy Editor

Patrick Masterson

I joined the automotive industry in 2016 as a lifelong car enthusiast and have achieved the rare feat of applying my journalism and media arts degrees as a writer, fact-checker, proofreader and editor my entire professional career, which has somehow been more than a decade solely at Cars.com and currently as Chief Copy Editor. I live by an in-house version of the AP stylebook and know where the semicolons can go, which you can occasionally find updated proof of in the stories

below.
