It would create a permanent fissure in the media world. The question of whether plummeting advertising numbers are representative more of a broader trend than just the economy was the focus of an interesting post from James Fallows of the Atlantic, as I found from Philadelphia Inquirer online editor Chris Krewson. The real problem is, [...]

If you check out Technically Philly and you follow every minute change, you may have noticed that the tagline that we boast at the site’s top has changed slightly. Last week it still read: “Technically Philly is a blog covering the community of people who use technology in Philadelphia.” Now it says, “Technically Philly is [...]

I am surprised to say I’ve become something of a fan of marketing author Seth Godin. I find his blog purposefully insightful, thought-provoking and strangely general. A person from just about any industry could take lessons away from his posts, which, of course, is likely his purpose. It’s in that way that if, say, a [...]

Earlier this week, I launched the first profit-end of a business in my entire life — assuming the tax-status gray area of cutting hair and writing term papers for friends doesn’t count. Technically Philly, a news site covering technology and innovation in Philadelphia that I launched with two friends, began soliciting advertising, the first in [...]

I profiled the feisty and strong-willed adult film star Stoya  for Technically Philly. It could be her, standing in the low light of a trendy South Philadelphia coffee shop. There are maybe 10 people — drinking tea and working on laptops — most of whom are cute, pale-faced women with dark hair and a look. [...]

After announcing the birth Technically Philly, I haven’t more than briefly mentioned the news site for Philadelphia’s technology community, even though I’ve been writing there sometimes more than seven times weekly. Today, we ran an editorial that I particularly liked, so I thought I’d share. My two co-founders and I share the stance and both [...]

I got a tweet from my buddy and Reading Eagle designer Chris Reber a few weeks ago. is attribution dead? That came not long after, Vince Fumo, the embattled Pennsylvania state senator and legendary South Philly politician, was convicted on all 137 counts in his federal corruption trial. In what was another great stand for [...]

Philadelphia’s technology scene is, well, growing, expanding, maturing, developing, whatever. There are a host of worlds and working parts to it, different scenes, from Center City, to Old City, to South Philly, to the northwest and West Philly, up to the ‘burbs and, well, in some way, everywhere in between. The problem is that there [...]

This is where I will post any potential biases or conflicts of interest. I do not feel the below work or relationships cloud my ethics as a journalist, but transparency is of the utmost importance. If you have any questions or comments, contact me here. To see a more complete list of my work and [...]

ChristopherWink.com was always meant to be my professional Web site, where I blogged about the interests and experiences that involve being a young journalist today. I decided I needed a place to display my more personal experiences, particularly pursuing My Life To Do List. I am announcing the soft launch of that site today. When I was 13, I [...]
