Bernhard Warner
Journalist & Web 2.0 Strategist
About Me
Over the past two decades, I have worked on two continents in
multiple time zones with countless talented editors and writers.
Prior to landing in Rome, I was the European Internet
correspondent for
Reuters in London and, before that, I was
the New York bureau chief of
The Industry Standard, with a
stint in the middle as senior editor of
The Industry Standard
Europe
in London. I've taken this two decades' worth of
journalism experience to London to
co-launch Custom
Communication
, a boutique social media consultancy with a
twist, one that specialises in quality bespoke publishing. Follow
me on Twitter here at
@Bernhardwarner and also at
@socialinfluence.   

Keeping my journalism hat on, I write a daily column for Slate's
business site,
The Big Money. The column is called Today's
Business Press. Previously, I covered the Italian media sector
for
Variety. I also wrote a weekly column on tech and media for
The Times of London and I was one of the early contributors to
The Times Online's tech blog,
Tech Central. My work has also
appeared in
Time, Wired and The Guardian.

My journalism career began in the early '90s pounding on
doors in seedy neighborhoods looking for quotes and tales to
fill the pages of the crime blotter for The New Brunswick Home
News, now known, after a confusing string of mergers, as
The
Home News Tribune.

I have written on just about every conceivable topic from new
gadgets to hostage crises, pop stars to pirates, dense EU
legislation to an Italian engineer who converts table wine into
tractor fuel.

I have also taught a journalism course at
John Cabot University
here in Rome. Together with my students, we launched an
online version of the student newspaper,
The Matthew. And,
with the help of Nokia, we launched
a mobile journalism project
that ran during the Spring and Fall semesters of 2008.

For fun, I blog at
Il Sette Bello. Also, check out our blog on all
things social media --
Social Media Influence. For a more
