Professional Experience

I'm a veteran journalist with more than 20 years of experience, including 13 years writing about the intersection of technology and public policy. My stories have appeared at PCWorld.com, Computerworld.com, NYTimes.com, WashingtonPost.com and in CIO magazine. I've covered net neutrality fights in the U.S. Congress and the Federal Communications Commission, revelations of mass surveillance programs at the National Security Agency, and huge online protests over a controversial online copyright enforcement bill, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). I write authoritatively about complex technical, policy and legal topics. From a former editor: Grant is "an exceptional reporter, an especially strong writer, both on impossible deadlines and with analysis and other long-form stories, and a talented editor. Harried editors take note: Grant is a dream to edit, the sort of reporter you will wish again and again that you could clone." Clips: https://www.clippings.me/grantgross
