Alison first began reporting on technology and the channel in 1989, when she was hired as an associate editor at 'Macintosh News.' She soon moved to CRN, working her way up from assistant editor to managing editor, departments, at the weekly industry newspaper.

Company history

Professional Ink was formed five years ago, when former co-workers Alison Diana and Hailey McKeefry decided to pool resources rather than compete, during the economic downtime. Today, they work together or solo, depending on the client's needs and the assignment.

Alison graduated with honors at the top of the journalism class at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. She spent 10 years at United Media (formerly CMP) before becoming a freelancer. Prior to writing about business and technology, she wrote about music, movies, art and bands for a Long Island, N.Y., entertainment publication.
