Chris Paukert

Following stints as a TV news producer and as a record company tour publicist, Chris has made automotive publishing his life’s work. He is a Webby and Telly award-winning video producer and has been serving on the jury of the North American Car and Truck of the Year awards since 2010. Mentored by Automobile Magazine founder David E. Davis, Jr., Paukert succeeded Davis as Editor-in-Chief of Winding Road, a pioneering e-mag, before becoming Autoblog's Executive Editor from 2008 to 2015. From 2015 to 2022, he served as executive editor at CNET's Roadshow and later, CNET Cars. A Midwest lifer, Chris moved to Los Angeles in 2022 with a cache of odd, under-appreciated cars, joining Edmunds as Director, Video Editorial.
