Background
Deanna Nguyen is the Senior Content Manager at BroadbandNow, where she is responsible for the editorial quality of everything readers see, from the site’s more than 33,000 city-level internet guides to its library of over 800 evergreen guides and resource pages. She sets BroadbandNow’s editorial standards and brand voice, hires and trains the site’s writers and editors to meet them, and works cross-functionally with design, development and strategy teams on how content pages are built and improved.
Local internet guides — one for nearly every city in America — all managed to a single editorial standard that Deanna sets, teaches and enforces across BroadbandNow’s team of writers and editors.
Her focus is well-researched, consumer-first coverage of the telecom industry, the digital divide, net neutrality, internet safety and the infrastructure changes that affect everyday internet users. Every piece published under BroadbandNow’s editorial standards passes through processes Deanna designed: research requirements, fact-checking expectations, and writing that starts from what the reader actually needs to know.

Deanna’s range as a writer extends well beyond broadband. She has been a senior writer for Crunchyroll since 2022 and previously wrote for Funimation, covering the streaming and anime industry, work that has been referenced by entertainment outlets including CBR. Earlier in her career she served as an editor at Locale Lifestyle Magazine and an editorial intern at Tokyo Journal, crafting features on travel, culture, food and notable public figures across print and digital. That breadth is exactly what her editorial role demands: the ability to make any subject, including something as technical as broadband infrastructure, clear, accurate, and worth reading.

Personal
Deanna is an Orange County-based writer and editor with one too many hobbies. When she’s not in front of her computer, you can find her buying more books than she reads and cuddling with her Bichon Frise, who looks like a cotton ball. Deanna also has a passion for building her own mechanical keyboards. She’s even learning how to solder!
