Ryan Blitstein (born in San Francisco, California) is an American journalist.
A graduate of Stanford University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, he has been a staff writer at Red Herring and SF Weekly. He has lectured at San Jose State University and Stanford University.
His most well-known article was a controversial story about craigslist.org, Craig Newmark, and citizen journalism [1] that was both praised and ridiculed by bloggers, journalists, and media critics. He was also the first print journalist to write about Josh Wolf, the videoblogger jailed by a U.S. district court in 2006 for refusing to turn over a collection of videos he recorded during a protest.[2] Blitstein's work has appeared in the New York Daily News, New York Observer[3], Denver Post and Seattle Times.
During 2006 and 2007, he was a business reporter at the San Jose Mercury News, which published his three-part investigative series on cybercrime, "Ghosts in the Browser," in November 2007.[4]
He is currently a freelance journalist based in Chicago.
