Journalism
Over the past 15 years, my 6,000-plus articles have appeared in magazines, newspapers, books and newsletters around the globe.
I specialize in a few key areas: the environment, wildlife, cutting-edge technology, entrepreneurship, creativity and acts of kindness.
My column about endangered species, Extinction Countdown, started way back in 2004, making it the world's first (and still the longest-running) news source devoted entirely to endangered species. It now appears at The Revelator, the new site that I am editing.
I have also written about climate change, pollution, wildlife trafficking, and a variety of other environmental topics for Scientific American, TakePart, Audubon, Mother Nature Network, Motherboard, Hakai, Conservation, Sierra and a bunch of other publications.
On the technology side, I love writing about technology careers, where I help to give people in high-tech sectors the information they need to manage their careers. You can find my work in most past issues of IEEE-USA Insight and IEEE's The Institute. Other clients in this area have included the career sites Experience.com and The Ladders.
Other clients over the years have included Lion magazine, Tonic.com, the IEEE Communications Society and Standards Association, SmartBrief, Avian Welfare, Kyoto Planet, the Asbury Park Press, Governing and dozens of other publications.
Want to read some of my work? You can find links to all of my recent articles (plus quite a few old ones) over at the John Platt Article Library.
