Early life and education Warren Berger grew up in Whitestone, New York, as the youngest of seven siblings. He graduated from Syracuse University's S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1980.

Career After working as a newspaper journalist in Dallas, Texas, Berger moved back to New York and worked for several years as a magazine editor for CBS.

In 1990, Berger began writing independently and went on to publish a number of pieces in The New York Times and other publications. He wrote a business column for the Sunday Times and regularly contributed culture articles to the Arts & Leisure section and The New York Times Magazine. GQ, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The New York Times Magazine, Reader’s Digest, and Business 2.0 all featured Berger's writing, and he served as a contributing editor at Wired magazine from 1999 to 2001.

In 2001, he wrote his first book, "Advertising Today", published by Phaidon Press. The book was included on Barnes & Noble’s best books of the year list and was later included in a list of the “50 all time best books about media” compiled by The Independent of London.
