Andrew Lih (Traditional Chinese: 酈安治, Simplified Chinese: 郦安治, Pinyin: Lì Ānzhì[1][2]) is a new media researcher, consultant and writer, as well as a noted authority on both Wikipedia and internet censorship in the People's Republic of China.[3][4][5][6] He is currently a visiting professor at the University of Southern California.[7]
Lih, a Chinese American,[8] worked as a software engineer for AT&T Bell Labs from 1990 to 1993. He founded the new-media startup Mediabridge Infosystems in 1994. He also obtained a Masters degree in Computer Science from Columbia University in 1994.[9] From 1995 to 2000 he served as an adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia, and director of technology for their Center for New Media.[10] In 2000 he formed Columbia's Interactive Design Lab, a collaboration with the university's School of the Arts to explore interactive design for both fiction and non-fiction, including advertising, news, documentaries and films.[1] Soon afterward, Lih served as an assistant professor and the Director of Technology at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre of the University of Hong Kong.[1][11] He then moved to Beijing, China,[11] where he lived until 2009. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
Lih is a veteran Wikipedia contributor,[12] and in 2009 published the book The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia. Lih has been interviewed in a variety of publications, including Salon.com[13] and The New York Times Freakonomics blog,[14] as an expert on Wikipedia.
