Chris Anderson (writer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Anderson (born 1961) is editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine, which has won a National Magazine Award under his tenure. He coined the phrase The Long Tail in an acclaimed Wired article, which he expanded upon in the book The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business Is Selling Less of More (2006). He currently lives in Berkeley, California with his wife and five young children.
He is the chairman of a new startup, BookTour.com
Before joining Wired in 2001, he worked at The Economist, where he launched their coverage of the Internet. He also has a degree in physics from George Washington University and did research at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has also worked at the journals Nature and Science.
He is currently working on a new book, entitled Free, which examines the rise of pricing models which give products and services to customers for free.[1] The book will be released on July 6, 2009 by Hyperion.[2]
Issues of plagiarism came to controversy when a reviewer discovered several passages were copied verbatim from uncredited sources.[3]. Anderson responded to the claim stating that there was difficulty in agreement between him and the publisher over accurate citation of Wikipedia due to the changing nature of content.[4] Also in response, the book will be corrected before release with citations for sourced material.
