About Christopher J Feola
Christopher J Feola's unfinished autobiography is entitled Things I did While Planning to do Completely Different Things. He has accidentally or serendipitously been Banned from the Pacific Rim, taught at the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism before receiving his B.S., and been granted five patents in data architecture, none of which made good use - any use, really - of his major in Theatre or his minor in Modern Dance. He serendipitously became a photojournalist when his first editor handed him a Pentax ME and said Reporters have to take pictures. He was the founding director of The Media Center at the American Press Institute, and taught at the graduate level at Columbia and Indiana universities, among others. Feola was named one of the 50 most influential people in new media by Online Journalism Review, appeared on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer on PBS and Talk of the Nation on NPR, been written up in Business 2.0 and The New York Times; and addressed a joint session of the World Newspaper Congress and the World Editors Forum in Kobe, Japan. He worked at seven papers in 18 states and five countries on a couple of continents, including a two-year stint covering Asia as a foreign correspondent for Pacific Stars & Stripes. He has more than 4,000 published articles and 6,000 published photos to his credit, and his photos on Google Maps have racked up 35 million views, which is in the top 100 worldwide. He is the founding partner of The PrivacyChain, where he is surprised by Web3 on a daily basis.
