Andrew Brown (CNN journalist)

Andrew Brown is a British-born journalist who has spent most of his career in Hong Kong.[1] He is best known for producing quirky, technology-related features for CNN, which he joined in 2000. He has a particular penchant for odd machines—which allegedly track women's hormonal cycles,[2] translate animal sounds[3] or control dreams. He has also reported on more serious topics like computer passwords[1] and Sars.[4] Previously, he reported on-air for CNBC and TVB, both while based in Hong Kong.

In February 2010, he won almost £4.5 million in damages after having been paralysed at a UK hospital.[5][6] A fundraising dinner was held for him in Hong Kong, where he worked for 15 years, in 2009.[7]
