From 1995 to 2000 he served as an adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia, and director of technology for their Center for New Media.[8] In 2000 he formed Columbia's Interactive Design Lab, a collaboration with the university's School of the Arts to explore interactive design for both fiction and non-fiction, including advertising, news, documentaries and films.[9] Soon afterward, Lih served as an assistant professor and the Director of Technology at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre of the University of Hong Kong.[9][10]

Wikipedia activity
[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]Lih is a Wikipedia contributor and administrator on the English Wikipedia.[11] In 2009, he published the book The Wikipedia Revolution: How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World's Greatest Encyclopedia. Lih has been interviewed by Salon.com,[12] The New York Times Freakonomics blog,[13] and NPR Talk of the Nation[14] as an expert on Wikipedia.
Lih has stated that editing Wikipedia with smartphones is difficult, hence discouraging new potential contributors. He also says that for several years running, the number of Wikipedia editors has been falling and that there is serious disagreement among existing contributors on how to resolve this. In 2015, Lih feared these situations could imperil Wikipedia's long-term future.[15]
On November 27, 2019, Lih was scheduled to give a presentation about Caribbean and Puerto Rico topics on Wikipedia at the Microsoft branch office in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.
