Throughout most of his life, Chris has been a subject of '''journalism''', reporting, and paparazzi, whether he's aware of it or not. Every aspect of his life is documented on [[the Internet]], on sites like the [[Kiwi Farms]], [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], and [[CWCki|this one]]. The reason for this is largely due to his own willingness to openly admit and display his most embarrassing moments at the most inopportune times, although Chris himself is reluctant to admit this fact. As a result, Chris has received much attention from amateur journalists and forums, online or otherwise.
 
== Documentation on the Internet==
 
Believe it or not, the curiosity of Chris' life was pretty much what got the ball rolling for where Chris is today in terms of his fame on the internet. It all started when a [[Jason Kendrick Howell|curious troll]] just learned about Chris and his oddball lifestyle on [[4chan]], and therefore wanted to document it on Encyclopedia Dramatica to make fun of it. <ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Encyclopedia_Dramatica</ref> This could have been the end of it if Chris simply handled this maturely, and just simply ignored the page as a whole. However, of course, he takes a completely unexpected route, and not only gives the trolls a good laugh but even reveals a lot of new information about himself.
 
=== Something Awful ===
 
The place where the internet first properly discovered Chris. Several forums were made about him merely days after his introduction. Chris seems to have not noticed this, however.
 
=== 4chan ===
 
Chris began getting attention on 4chan only days after, and knowledge of Chris was gained even moreso here. This site ultimately led to the creation of his article on Encyclopedia Dramatica.
 
=== Encyclopedia Dramatica ===
 
The start of Chris' infamy and years of being trolled. Several times, Chris has attacked and vandalized this site, which gave us the infamous [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|ShecameforCWC]] and several more [[Honest Content|deep details]] about him.
 
=== CWCki ===
 
Chris doesn't hide his disdain for the CWCki, having [[User:GodofThunderGodofWar|created]] [[User:JenkinsJinkies|several]] [[User:Christianchandler|accounts]] and complained about it rather frequently, however he largely pays no attention to it nowadays.
 
=== Wikipedia ===
 
Chris treated Wikipedia like Myspace and Facebook, turning his user page into an autobiography of his life (a violation of Wikipedia's rules). Other than getting his account terminated for this reason, he has also unknowingly journalized his entire life up to his discovery of Encyclopedia Dramatica, even if parts of it were [[List of Chris's lies|blatant lies]]. This means Chris gave the general public clues for them to be able to piece together how Chris became screwed up enough to warrant his own Encyclopedia Dramatica page, as well as the basics as to how Chris thinks life should roll to fit his standards, giving Encyclopedia Dramatica and the CWCki a lot to work with.
 
=== CWCipedia ===
 
Since Chris was busy screwing with other wikis and started ranting about how he got banned from every single one because of it, [[User: Cogsdev|Cogsdev]], being a good sport, decided to make a special wiki just for him, where Chris can document as much of his personal life as he so desires. Chris primarily used this wiki to work on the autobiography he desired to share on the internet, make rants about things that bothered him, talk about things he loves, talk about fan-made works, and make updates on some of his own projects, such as his [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]] comics and his [[Little Big Planet]] levels. Interestingly enough, despite not being Cogsdev's intention, people got to learn more about Chris, as he expressed more about his life and opinions than anyone would have originally bargained for. This continued for a couple of months until the entire wiki was disabled due to massive amounts of vandalism done to its pages.
 
=== Kiwi Farms ===
 
{{Main|Kiwi Farms}}
 
==Interviews with Chris ==
 
Over the course of Chris's life, he has experienced many fascinating events, and received plenty of attention. Naturally, this piques the curiosity of others, and this has culminated in many '''interviews''' with Chris, whether through the Internet or in the flesh. As of October 2017, he will only do an interview if he is going to be [[Chris and his ego|paid for it]].

== Chris in the news ==
 
{{See also|Chris in the media}}
 
Besides gaining attention on social media, Chris' life story is sometimes broadcasted on public news. An infamous example of this is the news story of the [[Fire|destruction of his house]] on 10 January 2014.
 
== Chris as a journalist ==
 
These days, everyone's a journalist, and Chris is no exception.
 
Chris has always had a compulsion to document his own life, only talking about topics that affect him, and only using his publications to further express himself. During his trials and tribulations on [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] he took it upon himself to publish a newsletter. Funnily enough, his style is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia: Yellow journalism| Yellow Journalism]], being characterized by:
 
*Little regard for conventional journalistic ethics or consistency.
*[[Sonichu's News Dash#An indirect appeal to Mary|Scare headlines]] in huge print, often of [[Sonichu's News Dash#New Sonichu comics|minor news]].
*Lavish use of pictures, or imaginary drawings.
*Use of faked interviews, misleading headlines, pseudoscience, and [[Sonichu's News Dash#Chris's dating tips|a parade of false learning from so-called experts]].
*Emphasis on full-color Sunday [https://archive.sonichu.com/cwcville/SchusNews2.htm supplements], usually with comic strips.
*[[Ego|Conflicts of interest]]: Topics that affect the author directly, a big no-no in journalism (except in opinion pieces).
*Dramatic sympathy with the "underdog" [[Sonichu's News Dash#Chris on PowerWeb|against the system]].
 
Chris [[Chris and his Ego|being Chris]] also incorporates elements from [[Wikipedia: Tabloid journalism| Tabloid journalism]], such as:
 
*[[Mary Lee Walsh|Sensational crime stories]]
*Gossip columns about [[Christian Weston Chandler|celebrities]] and [[Bionic the Hedgehog|sport stars]]
*Junk food news
 
After watching Sachumo's [[Documentary]] about him, Chris gave his own ideas about the production of a similar piece. To the surprise of no one he wanted to focus [[Christian Weston Chandler...Yep, I'm on TV :)|more on the positives]], like the people whose lives have been made better by [[Trolls|interacting with him]].
