About
London, United Kingdom
A voice at the intersection of technology and culture.
Hartley Charlton is a British writer and editor working where technology and culture converge. He read History at the University of Nottingham, graduating with First Class Honours, and brings the same instincts to journalism: clarity, precision, and an eye for the stories that define the industry.
His writing, analysis, and commentary have appeared across international platforms including MacRumors, BBC News, Al Jazeera, and CBS. He is a co-host and co-producer of The MacRumors Show, a weekly technology podcast with a global audience.
His work features on Techmeme's leaderboards, is cited across the Apple commentariat from Daring Fireball and Six Colors to 9to5Mac and AppleInsider, and he has been photographed by Getty Images. Beyond the newsroom he is working toward long-form writing, and takes freelance commissions from clients in the UK, the US, and beyond.
