His interviews include Steve Jobs,[7] Bill Gates,[8] William Gibson,[9] Elmore Leonard,[10] and Anita Roddick.[11] He was also the author of the controversial Cyberporn cover story.[12] In commenting on that episode, Declan McCullagh excoriated Elmer-DeWitt for multiple "misrepresentations and errors," "logical fallacies," reporting in a "deceptive manner," and "[refusing] to acknowledge the many errors" in the story.[13]
