Jordyn Dahl, a senior news editor at LinkedIn, was among the nearly 700 laid off at the company this week.
She had been at LinkedIn since 2019, starting out as its small business reporter. She also built two beats — sustainability/climate and entrepreneurship — from the ground up. She also launched two newsletters that had an audience of more than 100,000.
“It’s been a wild ride going from a traditional newsroom and the NGO world to tech, but boy have I learned a lot,” she wrote on LinkedIn.
Dahl previously covered technology and startups as a contributor for Forbes based in Beijing.
She also worked as an editor in Beijing at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which is a foreign policy think tank. She interned for the New York Times while in Beijing and freelanced for MIT Tech Review since returning to the U.S.
