About

Luke Hammill

I hold honors degrees from the University at Buffalo, the Columbia University School of Journalism, and Georgetown Law. From 2013 to 2019, I was a full-time professional journalist, primarily for three newspapers and their affiliates: The Buffalo News (2013, 2017–2019), The Oregonian (2013–2016), and the Chicago Tribune (2016–2017). While at The Oregonian, I was part of the award-winning team that covered the 41-day standoff at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. I have also interned at and freelanced for The New York Times. Now, I am an attorney licensed in New York.
