Biografia e Jornada do Autor
Kenneth Cukier built his career at the intersection of journalism, technology, and international affairs. An American writer educated at Wittenberg University, where he studied political science and economics and graduated in 1991, he showed an early interest in international relations that later shaped his reporting. Before becoming closely identified with The Economist, he worked at the International Herald Tribune in Paris and as technology editor of The Wall Street Journal Asia in Hong Kong. He then spent more than two decades at The Economist as a foreign correspondent, technology writer, data editor, commentary editor, and eventually deputy executive editor. Reporting from Tokyo and elsewhere in Europe, Asia, and America gave his work a comparative cast; the article that later grew into Big Data began in a Salzburg Global setting focused on new information networks.
