About Jared
I’m a tech journalist with two decades of experience helping folks use and understand technology. My cord cutting journey began in 2008, when I was getting started as a freelance journalist and couldn’t fit cable TV into my budget. I’ve been trying to assist others in saving money on TV ever since.
Alongside Cord Cutter Weekly, I also publish Advisorator, a weekly newsletter for practical tech advice, and I’m a regular contributor to PCWorld, Fast Company, and New York Times Wirecutter. I started out as a local newspaper reporter and hold an M.A. in magazine journalism from New York University.
Commitments and ethics
I come from an old-school, pre-influencer journalism background. Here’s what you can expect from me:
- I don’t accept payments of any kind from the companies I write about. That means no ads or sponsorships from streaming companies, and no paid travel to industry events.
- I don’t invest in the companies that I write about, outside of mutual funds where I don’t control individual investments.
- To prevent sales commissions from influencing my coverage, I limit affiliate links to the deals section of my newsletter and website.
- I use a privacy-respecting form of analytics and collect as little information as possible to run the website and newsletter.
- I don’t sell your personal data or share it with advertisers.
- What you read comes from an actual human. I use AI for research and coding projects, but not to write for me.
