Co-FounderAfter escaping from my former job in TV news, I'm now thrilled to be conversing with the world instead of talking at it as co-founder of Global Voices.
I currently live in Washington, DC where I am a Bernard L. Schwartz Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation. My first book, Consent of the Networked, will be published in January 2012 by Basic Books. I blog about my work and ideas at RConversation.
For the first half of 2010 I was a visiting fellow at Princeton's Center For Information Technology Policy. In 2009 I was an Open Society Institute Fellow. In 2007 and 2008 I taught online journalism at the University of Hong Kong's Journalism and Media Studies Centre. From 2004-06 I spent three years at Harvard, mainly as a research fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, which is where I co-founded Global Voices with my colleague Ethan Zuckerman.
From 1992-2003 I worked for CNN in Asia. Based in China and Japan, I covered stories from Taiwan to Korea (North and South) to Pakistan. I'm fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

I want to ask, there is not software to change from letter to letter Latin...
