SiliconValleyWatcher has published a great in-depth profile of new CNET News.com Chief Dan Farber:

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been a media professional for decades, or how young or old you are, understanding the changes going on in the media industry comes from experiencing it first hand. You can see what I like to call the “trajectory of ideas” in the mediasphere, how media is consumed and shared.

And it is that understanding that Dan Farber brings to his new job, as editor-in-chief of News.com, one of the first online news organizations.

Dan is a long-time blogging advocate and editor/publisher who created the large blogger network at ZDnet before taking the helm at CNET’s News.com earlier this year.
