Heather Newman’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I’ve been a gaming, technology and business journalist for more than 25 years. My work has appeared in outlets including Forbes, USA Today, Rolling Stone, Dateline NBC, NPR, VentureBeat/GamesBeat, UploadVR and 75 newspapers and sites in the U.S. and overseas.

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Harriet the Spy. Boy, are most depictions of modern journalists terrible. I want the office (and staff!) Lucy Liu had in Set It Up.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

Email. Always.

Why did you become a journalist?

I love learning about new things, particularly things that surprise and delight, and telling other people about them.
