John Herrman

New York Magazine has hired John Herrman to cover technology, the tech industry, digital culture, and the ways all are combining to change us as individuals and as a society.

He was most recently at the New York Times, where he served as a David Carr Fellow and reported on Twitter’s quest to become a platform for everyone and everything; Amazon’s many “pseudo brands”; and tried to answer the question of who’s watching your porch, with Amazon’s ring of surveillance.

Previously, he was co-editor of The Awl and editor of BuzzFeed’s technology section. Early in his career, he was a writer and editor at Gizmodo and Popular Mechanics.
