Biographical Information
Ethan Zuckerman is director of MIT’s Center for Civic Media and a principal research scientist at the MIT Media Lab. With Rebecca MacKinnon, Zuckerman co-founded international blogging community Global Voices and served as researcher and fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, where he served as a researcher and fellow for eight years, before coming to MIT in 2011. He writes at http://ethanzuckerman.com/blog.
"I'm an activist, blogger and geek, living in Western Massachusetts and working in Cambridge as a research fellow at the Berkman Center. As co-founder of Global Voices, I'm interested in ways that citizen's media can address longstanding biases in the news media. Before working at the Berkman, I helped found Geekcorps, a non-profit organization that shipped geeks to the developing world to run Internet technology trainings. Prior to that, I was part of the team that founded Tripod, one of the early online community companies. When not blogging, researching or making trouble, I help out with Worldchanging, Open Society Institute's Information Program and other fun technology and development projects. My personal blog is “My Heart's in Accra…”" [1]
In July 2010 he noted: "I'm thrilled to announce that the Omidyar Network has made a $1.2 million investment in Global Voices's work. Omidyar is a philanthropic foundation created by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar and his wife Pam". [1]
