Brian X. Chen’s Summary
Throughout his career as a professional writer and editor, Brian X. Chen has been recognized for fearlessly pushing the envelope with aggressive news reporting and sharp social commentary. To wit: a diverse writing repertoire that includes covering Apple as a technology reporter at Wired.com and a former position as associate editor at Macworld.
A new media zealot, Brian enjoys experimenting with innovative Web tools to report the news. In August 2008, he led an interactive global study to investigate the iPhone 3G's network problems. The story was wildly successful, attracting 4,000 participants around the world and earning Wired.com a nomination for an ASME National Magazine Award — the magazine industry's highest honor.
Brian attributes his abilities to his studies at UC Davis, where he directed the campus news desk at The California Aggie daily newspaper while earning bachelor's degrees in English and film studies.
On his free time, Brian reviews films for Filmcritic.com and is also a member of the San Francisco Film Society.
