Chris Boyette’s Biography

As a journalist, I'm most interested in new and evolving ways to gather and share stories.

It isn't just about what is said, but how it's said. I am particularly intrigued by places where technology and society butt heads.

I currently work as National News Editor at the CNN World headquarters in Atlanta. I am responsible for identifying and developing domestic news stories for all CNN platforms…digital, television, mobile, social.
My team oversees the editorial and operations of our domestic news coverage, ensures continuing coverage to continuously break news on priority stories and partners with all platforms to create written and visual content.

Before that I worked in the CNN New York bureau on cross-platform newsgathering and planning where I helped conceive, plan, produce and write character driven, data heavy, enterprise multimedia projects for broadcast, digital and mobile platforms.

Locally, I wrote for years at FREEwilliamsburg.com where I reported and provided commentary on art, music, news and events in the Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick neighborhoods of Brooklyn.

My stories have been featured on the websites of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Huffington Post, among others.
