Scott London’s Summary

I'm a journalist, author, speaker and consultant based in southern California. I'm perhaps best known as the host of "Insight & Outlook," a cultural affairs program heard on many National Public Radio stations during the 1990s.

I've 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. I've distilled much of that learning into a series of writings and radio programs on social entrepreneurship, public innovation, and the ideas shaping our future.

I've written, edited and contributed to numerous books and published widely in newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals. I've also authored several influential reports and white papers on the state of American journalism, current trends in higher education, the political ramifications of new communications technologies and other issues.

Much of my time is devoted to consulting projects aimed at social innovation and civic renewal. I've worked with a wide range of organizations, including the Kettering Foundation, the Pew Partnership for Civic Change, the Harwood Institute, National Science Foundation, University of Michigan, Pacifica Graduate Institute, International Management Group, National Issues Forums, the Nobel Foundation, and others.

I also take occasional assignments as a photographer and photojournalist. My images have been licensed for advertising and editorial use in books, magazines, and newspapers worldwide. My photography has also been exhibited in museums and private galleries in several cities across the country.

Raised and educated in Stockholm, Sweden, I moved to the U.S. in 1990. I live in Santa Barbara, California, with my wife and our two daughters.
