The available text of the article consists mainly of Ulanoff's author biography. It describes him as an award-winning technology journalist, on-air expert and commentator. Before joining TechRadar, he was editor in chief of Lifewire. Before that, he was chief correspondent for Mashable, where he covered all facets of technology and the intersection of digital and life, and helped the outlet find new ways to tell stories. He is based in New York.
Ulanoff is a 38-year industry veteran, according to the biography. It says he has covered technology since PCs were the size of suitcases, 'on line' meant 'waiting' and CPU speeds were measured in single-digit megahertz. Before joining Mashable as editor in chief in 2011, he was editor in chief of PCMag.com and senior vice president of content for Ziff Davis, Inc. The biography says he guided the brand to a 100% digital existence and oversaw content strategy for all Ziff Davis websites.
His long-running column on PCMag.com earned him a Bronze award from the ASBPE, according to the biography. It says Winmag.com, HomePC.com and PCMag.com were all honored under his guidance. It also says he makes frequent appearances on national, international and local news programs including Live with Kelly and Mark, the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNBC, CNN and the BBC. He has offered commentary on National Public Radio and been interviewed by newspapers and radio stations around the country, the biography says.
The biography says Ulanoff has been an invited guest speaker at technology conferences including Think Mobile, CEA Line Shows, Digital Life, RoboBusiness, RoboNexus, Business Foresight and Digital Media Wire's Games and Mobile Forum. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Hofstra University in New York and serves on Hofstra's School of Communication Advisory Board. In his spare time, he draws cartoons, which he occasionally posts online. He and his wife Linda have been married for more than 30 years and have raised two children.
