Reporter Gets Started At SF LGBT Center

Privacy, civil liberties, tech reporter and blogger Ryan Singel said he got started  after taking a journalism class taught at the SF LGBT center 11-12 years ago. Getting into a beat was difficult Singel said.  He recalled that he was terrified of making the first phone call to a union representative. He got over his fear and broke his first story. Singel said he and other reporters interested in creating a circle of information usually keep relationships with sources for information.

"There is people in the world who know what the news is going to be," Singel said.

Singel published articles on wired.com for a decade and tech articles dating from Feb. 2009.

Singel left wired and started working for Contextly, an applications start-up within the past three years. For blogging, Singel said he prefers wordpress over blogspot.
