Nate William Charles Lanxon (born 15 December 1984)[1] is a British technology journalist. He lives in London, England. He is the former editor of Wired.co.uk at Condé Nast, the online arm of Wired Magazine. Previously, he was a Senior Editor at CNET.

In October 2014 it was announced[2] Conde Nast would launch a British version of Ars Technica, led by Lanxon as editor-in-chief,[3] with a London-based team working under him to produce local editorial content. Ken Fisher, founder and editor-in-chief of Ars Technica in the United States, will oversee the publication from a brand perspective. Lanxon ended up accepting a position at Bloomberg instead.

He appeared as an expert judge on one episode of the 2011 series of the BBC’s programme The Apprentice.[9]

Lanxon was shortlisted for the British Society of Magazine Editors' award for Editor Of The Year in 2010,[10] 2011,[11] and again in 2013.[12]

Podcasting

Lanxon currently co-hosts the weekly UK-focused technology podcast Tech's Message[13] with fellow journalist Ian Morris.

From 2010[14] to 2014, Lanxon was the host and producer of Wired UK's weekly technology podcast,[15][16] during which time the show reached number one in the UK iTunes Podcast charts.[17]

Previously, Lanxon was the host of CNET's weekly technology podcast in the UK. His younger brother, Andrew Lanxon Hoyle, now hosts this show in his capacity as senior editor,[18] a role Lanxon held prior to his joining Wired.
