Mathew Ingram (he/him)

Mathew Ingram is an award-winning journalist who has spent the past two decades writing about business, technology and new media as well as advising media companies on digital strategy. He is currently the chief digital writer for the Columbia Journalism Review, and prior to that he was a senior writer with Fortune magazine, where he wrote about the evolution of media and the Internet. Before joining Fortune, he held a similar position at Gigaom, a leading technology blog network.

Prior to joining Fortune, Mathew spent 15 years as a reporter and columnist at the Globe and Mail, writing about a variety of topics.
