Bloomberg News reporter Ashlee Vance is leaving the news organization to start a sci-tech media company called Core Memory.
Vance writes, “For the last two decades, I’ve been chronicling advances such as these and the people behind them for publications like The Economist, The New York Times and Bloomberg Businessweek. Along with the stories, I’ve written best-selling books like Elon Musk’s biography, made an Emmy-nominated tech TV show watched by millions and produced films for HBO and Netflix. The goal has always been to bring the tales of complex technology and compelling people to the public and give them a path into exceptional and unusual worlds they would not normally have a chance to experience.
“Now, it’s time for something similar but also very different.
“Today, I’m launching Core Memory – a new, independent media company telling the best stories in science and technology in the best way. Core Memory will give you a straight shot into the world’s most exciting and influential figures in science and technology along with the up and commers and as of yet undiscovered people developing new breakthroughs. It will approach reporting on technology with an open mind and unyielding curiosity and a working assumption that you all want better, smarter and deeper coverage about where the world is heading.
“My past work has put me in the very fortunate position of having the best access to the world’s most captivating scientists, engineers, inventors and entrepreneurs. The goal with Core Memory is to transport you all into the same places I’m lucky enough to inhabit.”
