“Chris was more than just a writer at CNN Headline News. She was (is)a journalist with a high degree of integrity and very skillful at writing stories in an introspective and meaningful way. News writing in mainstream media has become more formulaic but despite this trend, Chris always managed to combine relevance, timeliness and balance into her news stories while avoiding commonality.” October 1, 2007

Al Matthews, Writer, CNN Headline News worked directly with Chris at CNN Headline News

“Chris Boese is a talented and an extraordinary individual. She was a guest speaker in my fall 2005 graduate poetry workshop. She spoke eloquently and extensively about the intersection of poetry and media/web projects. Our students were captivated by her knowledge, charisma, and wit. Her presentation was a collection of resources our students were thrilled to encounter; consequently, since many of the students were profoundly influenced by Boese’s presentation, they were able to incorporate some of the ideas in their own final projects (end of the semester portfolios, some included multi-media components). It was truly a pleasure getting to know Boese during her time at University of Montana–I hope to work with her in the future.” September 30, 2007

Her current work with blogs is a natural extension of her work with new media. I have known Chris since we were both graduate students at RPI. She was an innovator then and continues on that path.” May 31, 2005
