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 who collectively helped conclude that the iPhone's connection problems were related to AT&T's overloaded 3G network rather than the handset. The study earned Wired.com nominations for awards from the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) and the Online News Association (ONA).
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.
