Garrett M. Graff is widely recognized as one of the nation’s leading experts on technology and politics. As an editor at Washingtonian magazine, he covers media and politics and serves as internet director. His first book, “The First Campaign: Globalization, the Web, and the Race for the White House,” laid out the impact of technology on the 2008 presidential race. Previously, Graff was the first blogger accredited to cover a White House press briefing, served on Howard Dean’s presidential campaign, and was the Vermont governor’s first webmaster.

His writing and commentary has appeared in publications like the Washington Post, The New York Times, Wired, the Politico, and the Huffington Post, and he’s spoken to audiences ranging from Princeton University and the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to the Defense Department and Google. In 2008, he was named as one of four young “new media” journalists to watch by PRWeek. He is currently writing a book about the FBI that will be published in Spring 2010.
