#redirect [[Chris in the media]]
 
Throughout most of his life, Chris has been a subject of '''journalism''' and paparazzi, whether he's aware of it or not. His life is literally documented on [[the internet]] on sites like [[Cwcki|yours truly]], the [[Kiwi Farms]], and [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. The reason for this is due to his own stupidity to openly admit and display his most embarrassing moments at the most inopportune times. Sometimes, people will learn more about Chris' life by interviewing him, or he will flat out do something so embarrassing, people can't help but share it with someone else.
 
==Interviews with Chris ==
 
Over the course of time, Chris has had a lot of fascinating things happen in his life, being almost impossible for others to comprehend all of it, wanting to ask him questions. Some people have been very ''lucky'' and managed to do interviews with Chris, whether it through [[Skype]] or in the flesh.

{{main| CHRIS CHAN INTERVIEW}}

== Documentation on the Internet==
 
{{Incomplete}}
 
Believe it or not, journalism was pretty much what got the ball rolling for where Chris is today in terms of his fame on the internet, though it wasn't through any interviews with our friend. Instead, it was because 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. But of course, he takes a completely unexpected route, and not only gives the trolls more Chris related stuff to talk about but even does the same thing on wikis outside of Encyclopedia Dramatica.
 
=== 4chan ===
 
The very beginning of how the internet came to know Chris.
 
=== Encyclopedia Dramatica ===
 
The start of Chris' infamy and years of being trolled.
 
=== Cwcki ===
 
Chris doesn't hide his disdain for the Cwcki and largely pays it no attention 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 [[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 have his own Encyclopedia 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 his own projects, such as his [[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]] comics and his [[Little Big Planet]] levels. Interestingly enough, despite not being Cogsdev intention, people got to learn more about Chris, as he has expressed more about his life and opinions than anyone would have originally bargained for. This has continued for a couple of months until the entire wiki has been disabled due to the massive amounts of vandalism done to its pages.
 
== Chris as a journalist ==
 
{{Incomplete}}
 
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 [[Love Quest|his interests]]. During his trials and tribulations on [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|college]] he took it upon himself to publish a newslettler. Funnily enough, his style is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia: Yellow journalism| Yellow Journalism]], being characterized by:
 
*[[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.
*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
