Marc Hogan (born October 3, 1981) is an American journalist. He currently works as a news analyst and reporter at the Financial Times publication Agenda, and as lead news writer at eMusic.com editorial site Wondering Sound.[1][2]

Hogan has been a music critic at Pitchfork since 2004.[3] He has contributed to a number of other publications, including SPIN, Salon, BusinessWeek.com, Paste, Playboy.com, and the Chicago Tribune, and he has discussed his work on WNYC, ABC World News Webcast, and CNBC. He also contributed to the book The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs From Punk to the Present.

Hogan was among the first to report on the cassette revival (in a 2010 article for Pitchfork) and broke the story of Will Ferrell challenging Metallica's Lars Ulrich to a drum battle (in a 2014 article for SPIN).[4][5][6][7]

In 2005, the The New York Times wrote of one of his Pitchfork album reviews that "the writer, Marc Hogan ... in his rave goes over the top and stays there to very nice effect."[8] In 2012, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd quoted his SPIN coverage of Nicki Minaj.[9] He is a two-time Da Capo Best Music Writing "notable" mention.[10][11] Slate cited his reviews in a 2006 piece titled "Die, Pitchfork, Die!: The indie music site that everyone loves to hate."[12]

Based in Des Moines, Iowa, Hogan has lived in California, Tennessee, Arizona, Massachusetts, Illinois, and New York. He graduated from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.
