Tricia Duryee, a tech reporter for the Seattle Times, AllThingsD and GeekWire, has died from cancer at the age of 46.
Todd Bishop of GeekWire writes, “Duryee covered the rise of wireless technologies, smartphones, and e-commerce, as well as gaming and venture capital as a reporter for publications including The Seattle Times, AllThingsD, MocoNews.net and GeekWire.
“‘Tricia was a sunny and bright personality in the often drab world of tech reporting,’ said entrepreneur and podcast host Kara Swisher, the AllThingsD and Recode co-founder. ‘Always enthusiastic and perpetually curious, she was always looking for new ways to tell stories on her beat and bring alive an era of innovation for readers. What a terrible loss for her family but also the larger journalism community.’
“As a Seattle Times reporter from 2000 to 2008, Duryee helped to usher in an era of fast-paced online business and tech reporting as the driving force behind the newspaper’s Tech Tracks blog, while also reporting major stories for the paper.
“‘Tricia genuinely enjoyed her job; she simply loved being a reporter,’ recalled Mark Watanabe, who was The Seattle Times’ technology editor at the time.”
