Amy Wallace is an American journalist. Much of Wallace's writing has been related to business or technology.

Kenneth Kaufmann praised Wallace's coverage of the Betty Broderick story, asserting her article on the story, in the LA Times magazine played a key role in developing the script for the 1992 tv-movie "A woman scorned".[1]

In 2009 Keven Roderick wrote an article profiling Wallace in LA Observed.[2]

In January 2014 Wallace wrote an op-ed in the New York Times that triggered wide comment.[3]

In 2009 Joanna Pearlstein, editor of Wired magazine, published a profile of Wallace, after an article Wallace had written on the meme that a side-effect of the routine vaccinations of young children had lead to an increase in autism.[4]

An article she wrote, titled "a very dangerous boy" was cited in Neiman Storyboard's 2013 Best of Narrative roundup.[5]
