Katrina Heron

Katrina Heron joined Wired magazine in 1995 as editor-at-large and became editor-in-chief in 1997. She took Wired's circulation over the 500,000 mark and repositioned it as a general interest magazine for the 21st century. Heron resigned in the summer of 2001 to explore in greater depth many of the issues she covered at Wired, including digital technologies and the future of publishing, and to package and edit a range of book projects. Prior to joining Wired, Heron was an editor and writer at the The New York Times Magazine, a senior editor at Vanity Fair and a senior editor at The New Yorker. She graduated from Yale and was a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford in 1994-1995.

The repeated emphasis on going beyond summary numbers to examine the underlying dynamic was valuable as a way to start thinking more deeply about stories coming from the numbers."
