Marcus Weisgerber’s Biography

I'm the global business reporter for Defense One.

I write about broad-ranging policy, acquisition and budget issues affecting the U.S. military. I also cover multibillion dollar acquisition programs, including the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and KC-46A tanker.

I have reported from Afghanistan, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. You could also find me at major international air shows, in places like Farnborough, England, and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

I've appeared C-SPAN, HuffPost Live and the BBC World Service and This Week in Defense News.

Prior to joining the Defense One team, I was the senior Pentagon correspondent for Defense News. Before that, I was the chief editor of Inside the Air Force, an Arlington, Va.-based newsletter and online publication that covers military acquisition, programs and policy.

Before coming to Washington, I was an education reporter for Foster’s Daily Democrat in Dover, N.H., and an Internet news manager at Newsday in Long Island, N.Y.

I have a bachelor’s in journalism from the University of New Hampshire.
