Warren Berger (born October 20, 1958) is an American journalist and author. He has written five books (two as co-authors) and numerous articles, primarily on design, mass media, and popular culture.[1] [2]
Warren Berger grew up in Whitestone, New York, as the youngest of seven siblings. He graduated from Syracuse University's S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1980.[3]
After working as a newspaper journalist in Dallas, Texas, Berger moved back to New York and worked for several years as a magazine editor for CBS.
In 1990, Berger began writing independently and went on to publish a number of pieces in The New York Times and other publications. He wrote a business column for the Sunday Times[1] and regularly contributed culture articles to the Arts & Leisure section and The New York Times Magazine.[1] GQ, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Reader’s Digest, and Business 2.0 all featured Berger's writing, and he served as a contributing editor at Wired magazine from 1999 to 2001.[1]
Berger pursued his interest in advertising by writing articles for Ad Age’s Creativity, Communication Arts, Graphics, and Metropolis. In the mid-1990s, he formed an association with The One Club for Art & Copy, helping them launch the bimonthly publication ONE, about creativity in advertising, and then in 2007 launching the quarterly One: Design. In 2001, he wrote his first book, "Advertising Today", published by Phaidon Press. The book was included on Barnes & Noble’s best books of the year list and was later included in a list of the “50 all time best books about media” compiled by The Independent of London.
