I’m a TED Fellow for 2014. Woo Hoo!

Will Potter, Green Is the New Red
December 2013

Will Potter is an award-winning independent journalist based in Washington, D.C. He is the author of Green Is the New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege. His site is about how animal rights and environmental activists are being targeted as "eco-terrorists," and what that means for our safety and freedom.

I’ve devoured TED talks for years, both because I find them individually fascinating and because, as a speaker, I’m constantly trying to improve my communication and refine my own style. What’s remarkable to me about TED is that experts present their work in brilliantly non-expert ways (and by that I mean “ways that everyone else outside their field can understand”). It’s exactly what I aspire to do with my journalism. So I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been accepted as a TED Fellow for 2014.

That means I’ll get to meet with an inspiring list of artists, journalists, scientists, and thinkers from around the world, and also the opportunity to share my own work. I can’t wait.

(In the meantime, here’s one of my favorite TED talks, Benjamin Zander.)
