Bio
Honorable Jonathan Hirshon
Riley is not only a journalist of exceptional talent, as well as a writer par excellence - she takes the time to remember the essential humanity that is so frequently washed away in the deluge of online communications. It has been my great honour to interact with her as a contributing editor of VentureBeat - and I do not give public praise lightly or often.
