Adam Oxford

Adam is a tech and development journalist with 20 years of experience. He began his career working for serious scientific journals, and quickly moved to writing about PlayStation games when he realised he could make a (sort of) living out of it. A veteran of tech blogs and publications, Adam worked for PC Gamer on and off for over 12 years, and edited PC Format in the last glory days of print. His work has appeared in Wired, Stuff, the Guardian, Linux Format, the Sunday Times (UK & South Africa), .net, Computer Arts, the Mail & Guardian and too many other gadget, games and geek magazines to mention. He’s also worked with several NGOs in the tech and development sector, and was a finalist in the Guardian International Development Journalist of the Year competition. He is a lead co-ordinator for the Johannesburg chapter of Hacks/Hackers. For some inexplicable reason, his day job is Editor-in-Chief and founder of htxt.africa*, South Africa’s third largest (and growing) technology news and features site. Which is built on WordPress. (*it’s not our fault the .africa gTLD hasn’t launched yet…)
