Jennifer 8. Lee (Chinese name: simplified Chinese: 李竞; traditional Chinese: 李競; pinyin: Lǐ Jìng) (born March 15, 1976) is an American journalist. She wrote for various sections of The New York Times for several years. She left the Times on December 9, 2009 upon accepting a buyout package.
Early life and career
Lee was born on March 15, 1976 in New York City to immigrants from Kinmen, an island off the coast of China's Fujian province. Lee was not given a middle name at birth, but instead chose "8." as a teenager. For many Chinese people, the number eight symbolizes prosperity and good luck. She graduated from Hunter College High School and Harvard College, in 1999.
Journalist and author
She interned at The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Newsday and The New York Times while working on her applied mathematics and economics degree and writing for The Harvard Crimson. She joined the Times in 2001, one and a half years after graduating from Harvard. Lee wrote a book about the history of Chinese food in the United States and around the world, titled The Fortune Cookie Chronicles documenting the process on her blog. She reported the unlikely, but true, story of how batch of fortune cookies created 110 Powerball lottery winners. To the surprise of many non-Chinese readers, she reported that fortune cookies are found in many countries but not China and that fortune cookies may have originated in Japan. Warner Books editor Jonathan Karp struck a deal with Lee to write a book about "how Chinese food is more all-American than apple pie." She appeared on The Colbert Report to promote the book. The book was #26 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Lee has served on the advisory panel for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's "News Challenge", and has assisted the whistleblowing site WikiLeaks, dealing with the press and with social networking sites. She helped the organization with its April 2010 release of a video showing the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike.
