Elizabeth Crane began her writing and editing career penning business profiles and case studies back in the Web 1.0 heyday for the McGraw-Hill Companies magazine UnixWorld/Open Computing.
Her books include a contribution to "The Cassoulet Saved Our Marriage" (essays and recipes about family and how we learn to eat, from Roost Books), a Yahoo Web guide for kids (IDG Books) and a pro-college guide for first-generation college aspirants ("Say Yes To College," Penguin/Perigee).
Elizabeth has worked as a website content provider/proofreader/editor; a ghost writer and editor of blogs, book proposals and books; a trusted researcher, footnoter and assistant; and has honed her skills as a nitpicking copyeditor.
She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and lives in San Francisco, where she raised her two sons. On Saturdays, Elizabeth changes hats and becomes the on-site manager of the Noe Valley Farmers Market.
Ethics Statement
Here is a statement of my ethics and coverage policies. It is more than most of you want to know, but, in the age of suspicion of the media, I am laying it all out.
I own no stocks, technology-related or otherwise. I was a Girl Scout for many years and continue, in my life and in my work, to follow a bowdlerized version of the Girl Scout Law, crossed with the Hippocratic oath: Be honest and fair, be responsible, and do no harm.
Recode by Vox is wholly owned by Vox Media, which has a number of investors, including but not limited to Comcast Ventures and NBCUniversal, both of which are owned by Comcast Corporation.
My posts have total editorial independence from these investors, even when they touch on products and services these companies produce, compete with, or invest in. The same goes for all content on Recode by Vox and at our conferences. No one in this group has influence on or access to the posts we publish. We will also add a direct link to this disclosure when we write directly about the companies.
