Dennis Kneale is the Media and Technology Editor for CNBC, the business cable channel that reaches 95 million homes in the United States and 400 million households worldwide. He joined the network in October 2007 after spending nine years at Forbes magazine, where he had been managing editor since 2000. At Forbes he oversaw some of the most dramatic business stories of the new decade: the Internet boom, bust and rebuild; corporate scandals and investor fallout; the backlash against the drug industry amid recalls and soaring costs; the rise of Google; the capitalist revolution igniting China's economy; and the travails of Martha Stewart. Prior to joining Forbes, Kneale put in 16 years at The Wall Street Journal; in his last job as a senior editor there, he directed much of the paper's coverage of new AIDS treatments, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1997. He received a bachelor's degree in journalism at the University of Florida, where he has been honored as a distinguished alumnus.
