Geoff Keighley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoff Keighley is a videogame journalist. His work spans online, print and TV outlets, and he has been writing about games since the year 1992. He is most well known as the host of the Spike TV video game show Game Head, which is consistently the highest rated videogames show on television. He was also one of the co-hosts of the now-defunct G4 show G4tv.com. Keighley is also a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Business 2.0, Electronic Gaming Monthly and Entertainment Weekly, among others. Currently, besides hosting Game Head, Keighley can still be seen as a correspondent on another G4 show, The Electric Playground, and his work can be read in monthly columns in the Official Xbox Magazine and on the GameFly website. He is known for not just writing reviews and previews, but going behind the scenes of the game industry for in-depth business profiles and lengthy feature pieces. In 2005 GameDaily named him as the best journalist of the year, and in 2004 NewsBios.com named him one of the best 30 business journalists in the world under 30. He is also only one of two journalists -- the other being 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace -- profiled in the Harvard Business School press book "Geeks and Geezers" by noted leadership expert Warren Bennis. Keighley was recently interviewed on Larry Hryb's podcast, Major Nelson Radio episode 218, in which Larry made reference to this Wikipedia entry in his show.
