One of the most fascinating stories in technology and science these days is the emergence of a new space industry. GeekWire\u2019s hometown of Seattle has become an epicenter for this industry, bringing together the region\u2019s heritage in technology and aerospace.<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re excited to announce a new member of the GeekWire team who will boost our coverage not only of commercial space but also airplanes, drones, artificial intelligence, scientific discoveries, and much more. Alan Boyle, one of the most respected science and space journalists in the country, has officially joined GeekWire as our new aerospace and science editor.<\/p>\n

Alan has been contributing stories to GeekWire in recent months as a freelancer, but he\u2019s now shifting into an official role as a regular member of the team. As longtime followers of his work know, Alan\u2019s stories are thoroughly reported, incisive and illuminating, and we\u2019re thrilled to have him lead an expansion of our coverage in these areas.<\/p>\n

A veteran of sites including msnbc.com and NBCNews.com, Alan is an award-winning journalist who has covered some of the biggest news in space and science over the course of his career. He\u2019s the author of the book, The Case for Pluto<\/em>, and he worked previously as foreign editor at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a journalist in Seattle for more than 30 years, and I love the idea of working for a media outlet that\u2019s based here and has a sense of place, but also has a national reputation,\u201d he says. \u201cThe fact that GeekWire wants to provide more news about scientific discoveries, aerospace ventures, space exploration and how all this resonates with geek culture is a stroke of luck for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cI think the rising interest in those subjects parallels this region\u2019s rising role in the frontiers of biotech and engineering \u2013 which is completely in line with our pioneer past. I\u2019m looking forward to documenting our pioneer future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Please join us in welcoming Alan Boyle to the GeekWire team. For more, we recorded a podcast with Alan this week, talking about his history on the space and science beat, his new role at GeekWire, and some of the stories he\u2019ll be reporting about in the weeks and months ahead.<\/p>\n
