Profile

The founder and publisher of Contentinople, Scott has been chasing packets around since 1994, when he worked on the copy desk at the now-defunct networking book LAN Times. He has been writing about technology for 15 years.

As an expert on technology markets, he has been quoted in publications including Reuters, Dow Jones, Barron's, and the San Jose Mercury News. He has also been interviewed on CNN and National Public Radio.

Prior to founding Contentinople on a corporate dare, Raynovich was part of the original Light Reading editorial team. He joined in April of 2000, cleverly timed to coincide almost exactly with the crash in the dot-com and telecom markets. Despite these adverse circumstances, the "scrappy" and always-profitable Light Reading survived and flourished, growing from 0 to $14 million in revenue before being acquired by United Business Media in 2005. In addition to contributing to Light Reading itself, Raynovich has also written for Light Reading offspring Unstrung (www.unstrung.com), and Internet Evolution (www.internetevolution.com). 

Prior to joining Light Reading, Raynovich was Investment Editor for Red Herring magazine, where he also served as the New York Bureau Chief and helped build the original Redherring.com Website (before it became that "other," post-bubble, Redherring.com). Other past journalistic enterprises include writing about day traders for Wired.com; inverviewing Olympic Gold medalist Bill Johnson for the Crested Butte (Co.) Chronicle and Pilot; exposing corrupt Massachusetts politicians as Associate Editor at the Arlington (Mass.) Advocate; and chronicling politics, soccer, and "arts" for The Prague Post and Prognosis in the Czech Republic. He was also once accidentally published in the German magazine Der Spiegel, without pay.
