Scott London’s Summary

Scott London is a journalist, author and consultant based in southern California. He's perhaps best known as the host of "Insight & Outlook," a cultural affairs program heard on many National Public Radio stations in the United States and on global shortwave during the 1990s.

Scott has spent the better part of two decades interviewing frontier thinkers and social innovators — men and women charting new directions in science, education, technology and other fields. He has distilled much of that learning into a series of writings and radio programs on social entrepreneurship, public innovation, and the ideas shaping our future.

He's contributed to many books and published widely in newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals. He's also authored studies and reports on a range of important issues, including the state of American journalism, current trends in higher education, and the political ramifications of new communications technologies. He has also covered and written extensively about the Nobel Peace Prize.

He devotes much of his time to consulting with academic, government, and nonprofit leaders on social innovation and civic renewal. Over the past ten years, he has led several national studies and research projects aimed at understanding how change happens — and how to make it happen — in organizations and communities.

Scott is also an award-winning photographer. His images have been licensed for advertising and editorial use in books, magazines, and newspapers worldwide. His work has also been exhibited in several cities in the United States and Europe.

Raised and educated in Sweden, Scott settled in the U.S. in 1990. He has a wife and two teenage daughters.
