Tim Race (born January 6, 1956) is an American journalist and the former international business editor of the New York Times.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
Race was born and raised in Springfield, Ohio. He attended Miami University and graduated in 1978. He also holds a master's degree in popular culture from Bowling Green State University and a master's degree in journalism from American University.[2]
Race was the conductor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka orchestra from 1980-1983.
Career[edit]
Race worked as the international business editor of the New York Times until 2017, having worked there since 1992.
He later worked at FleishmanHillard and in IBM's communications department, and now works at Method Communications.[3]
Race is known for coining the term "digerati" in a January 1992 New York Times article.[4] According to Race,
- Actually the first use of "digerati" was in a January 29, 1992 New York Times article, "Pools of Memory, Waves of Dispute", by John Markoff, into which I edited the term. The article was about a controversy engendered by a George Gilder article that had recently appeared in Upside magazine. In a March 1, 1992 "On Language" column in The New York Times Magazine, William Safire noted the coinage and gave me the honor of defining it, which we did like so:
- Digerati, n.pl. – people highly skilled in the processing and manipulation of digital information; wealthy or scholarly techno-geeks.
