Chris Anderson, the longtime editor-in-chief at Wired magazine, is leaving the tech journalism stalwart. The news was announced at an all-hands meeting held at Wired’s offices this morning, we’re hearing. It has also started to leak out on Twitter (you can’t trust writers to keep anything secret, I tell ya.)
Anderson plans to shift his full-time attention to his role as CEO of 3D Robotics, a company he co-founded that makes do-it-yourself drones aimed at the mass market. He’ll be staying at Wired until the magazine finds a replacement.
Anderson has been Wired’s editor since 2001. He’s also become well-known for authoring bestselling books such as The Long Tail. We’ve reached out to him for some more detail on this shift and will be sure to update this with anything we hear back.
We sat down with Anderson a few weeks ago to discuss his latest book, Makers: The New Industrial Revolution. In our interview he talked quite a bit about 3D Robotics and how it fits into this larger Maker movement — he’s clearly passionate about the company, so while he is so strongly associated with Wired this move does not come as a huge shock.
