Andrew has been a software engineer, entrepreneur, academic, new media researcher and writer. He is currently based in Beijing, People's Republic of China.
His interests include the development of open content and collaborative efforts in journalism. Wikis and web logs have allowed many more netizens to be producers of content and not simply browsers of the Internet. This will have an increasingly important role in China’s media ecology, as it becomes the largest mobile phone and Internet market in the world.
He has been a commentator on new media, technology and journalism issues on CNN, BBC radio, MSNBC and NPR.
