Stand-alone journalist Chris Nolan started Politics from Left to Right: Chris Nolan in July, 2003. The site focuses on the intersection of politics, technology and business in San Francisco, California and on the national scene.
Nolan’s work is well known to tech-savvy readers through her popular column, "Talk is Cheap" which appeared in The New York Post, Upside, Wired.com and other publications. Debuting in 1997 at the beginnings of the Internet stock boom, it covered a wide variety of topics and was well regarded for its humor, insight and news value.
Nolan has led her peers in breaking important stories. Her reporting on Silicon Valley banker Frank Quattrone was the first to uncover the now infamous "friend of Frank"accounts and led, eventually, to Quattrone's conviction on obstruction of justice charges. In addition to columns and writing on the web, Nolan's work has appeared in The Washington Post, The New Republic, Fortune, Business 2.0 and Conde Nast Traveler and public radio's Marketplace. She has spoken frequently on the impact of stand-alone journalism on politics and established media.
Before moving to San Francisco, Nolan, who has more than 20 years of reporting experience, wrote about politics and technology in Washington, D.C. for a series of television trade magazines. She hold a B.A. degree from Barnard College, Columbia University.
