I cover the revolution -- technology, new media, and social media.

I work in the digital division of CBS as the Editor in Chief of TechRepublic, where I analyze the hottest trends in business and technology and look at how they are transforming the ways people work in the 21st century.

My focus is on filtering out all of the noise, finding the most important new innovations, and explaining why they matter. I write a lot more commentary than news stories, but I'm a news hound constantly scanning tech news looking for the big stories and trends. I curate tech news every day on Twitter and Google+ and in my daily newsletter Tech Sanity Check features my picks for the top stories of the day and goes out to over 100,000 of my closest friends who work in tech. 

My ultimate passion is for writing and storytelling. I call myself a "digital storyteller" for two reasons: I tell stories about the digital revolution and I use digital tools to do it -- blogs, the web, digital photography, digital video, and social media.

I use my blog here at jasonhiner.com to write about all the stuff I don't write about at TechRepublic. That includes things like consumer tech tips, social media best practices, and 21st century journalism. But, I also occasionally write about stuff that has nothing to do with tech or the media, like world history (my favorite subject), art, innovation, creativity, and even sports. Still, since I live and breath the ways new technologies are transforming modern culture and connecting people in exciting new ways, a lot of what I write eventually circles back to those themes. 

To get a sense of my enthusiasm for working at the intersection of the technology and media industries at such a watershed moment in history, take a look at the video below.
