I've been a reporter or editor at the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times and a few business magazines prior to that.
An expert at asking questions.
(Public Company; TRB; Newspapers industry)
May 2001 — April 2009 (8 years)
Technology reporter interested in stories on how the Internet and society collide. Weekly column reviewed latest gadgets (smartphones, cameras, music players, etc.) and explored emerging trends. Eric 2.0 blog covered everything tech: social media, gadgets, Chicago tech firms, national tech coverage, holiday tech toys (for kids and parents!) and a host of other subjects. Search Google for "Benderoff" and "tech topic of your choice" and there's a fine chance I've written something.
