Andrew Leonard (born 1962) is an American journalist who writes feature articles for San Francisco and contributes to Medium. From 1995 to 2014 he wrote for Salon.com.[1] He has also written for Wired.[2]

Career[edit]

Leonard is credited with coining the term "open-source journalism".[3] He is the author of Bots: The Origin of New Species, which The New York Times called a "playful social history of the internet".[4] According to Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, also writing in the Times, the book is "deceptively profound".[2] Bots was one of the first few books published by Wired's nonfiction publishing venture HardWired, launched in 1996.[5]

For six years[6] as a financial analyst for Salon.com,[7] Leonard wrote a blog, How the World Works, covering topics such as speculation in the car market,[8] the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act,[9] and immigration reform.[10]

Currently he is the writer of the popular newsletter titled, "The Cleaver and the Butterfly".[11]

Leonard is the son of the American literary, television, film, and cultural critic John Leonard.[12]
