Evan Shapiro

Many know Evan Shapiro as the (un)official cartographer of the Media Universe. Using a very specific point of view, Shapiro maps the tech and entertainment ecosystem, and, through his essays on the Media War & Peace Newsletter, he helps chart Media's future.

Shapiro has run TV networks, started up streaming platforms, produced Portlandia, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, Please Like Me, Comedy Bang Bang, Brick City, and Harmonquest, won an Emmy and two Peabody's, and continually is a featured speaker at conferences around the world such as SXSW, MIPCOM, Royal Television Society, IBC, CES, Medientage, and for companies like Channel 4, BBC, CBC, Comcast, and DirecTV.
