About Jamie
Jamie Sorcher, a word nerd and gadget geek, is a technology correspondent with more than 15 years experience in broadcast, online, and print media. And, she answers to many handles including "Gadget Girl", "Gizmo Girl", "GG", and "Super G".
In broadcast, Sorcher logged more than 100 live segments as the original Gizmo Girl on ESPN’s morning show Cold Pizza (now called First Take), appearing each week with the latest and greatest gadgets. (Some worked and some didn’t…which always made for an entertaining and unique segment!)
She has appeared on many local news programs and networks including Ahead of the Curve on ABC News, Gotta Know on ABC’s Live Well HD network, The Early Show on CBS, NBC Nightly News, Good Day New York on Fox, and Fox News. Sorcher has served as Skype’s spokesperson and “resident tech expert” in addition to hosting satellite media tours.
In print, Sorcher is a contributor to ShopSmart, a sister publication of Consumer Reports, and to the leading technology industry publication, TWICE (This Week in Consumer Electronics.)

Prior, she was a senior editor at Hachette Filipacchi Media writing about technology, lifestyle, and entertainment for Premiere, Sound & Vision, Stereo Review, Car Stereo Review, Home, and Ty Pennington at Home.
During her eight-year tenure at Hachette, Sorcher launched the widely read interview column, BackTalk, which featured celebrities including Woody Harrelson, Billy Bob Thornton, and the original Batman, Adam West. She has interviewed hundreds of celebrities for various features with her favorites being Alicia Keys, Cher, James Franco, John Madden, Clarence Clemons, Bill Paxton, and John Lithgow.
Sorcher has also written for additional publications and web sites including Robb Report, Consumers Digest, Maxim, Unlimited, Uptown, Vision (the publication of the Consumer Electronics Association), Access, Business Journal of New Jersey, Shock, Playthings, Cafemom.com, The Huffington Post, Etown.com, and ElleGirl.com.
