Nicholas Thompson was recently named editor and chief of WIRED in 2017. As editor and chief he continues to write for the news outlet but also works towards bringing them more success. With work he did alongside others on the new website, as well as a slight paywall, WIRED saw a huge increase in subscriptions totaling at over 130%. While working as a Senior Editor at WIRED he edited an article called the Great Escape, a basis for the movie that became Argo, an Oscar winner. He has wrote articles all over the field, in technology, politics, and law. As a knowledgeable source he also frequently appears on CBS morning where he talks about things like the large Cyber-attack that happened recently, explaining what happened and why, like how they targeted hospitals because of how they ran old software and needed to pay ransoms to get their tech back.
