A news & features specialist...
I've self-published my writing online ever since I knew what an HTML tag was. Today, I've progressed to writing for some of the most well-respected general interest science and technology publications in the world. I like the balance between news and features, too. I get ideas on the news side that might end up in features later but even the shift in pace itself is a real luxury. Some weeks I'll be chasing down the news cycle while at other times I find myself doing in-depth interviews with world experts or savvy entrepreneurs. It never stops being challenging and I love every minute of it.
...reporting on the impact of technology
For quite a while now it's been clear that technology journalism should go beyond endless gadget reviews. As more and more people express a feeling that their world has changed drastically thanks to the rise of the world wide web and the proliferation of consumer electronics, it's become necessary to go deeper. To get at that nexus between what new technology is and how human beings actually respond to it. How does it affect society? Is it for better or worse? What risks might we be exposed to? And that, in a nutshell, is what I'm constantly compelled to investigate. That's what I write about.
