The San Francisco Standard is purchasing Charter for an undisclosed amount, and Charter co-founder Kevin Delaney is becoming its editor in chief.
Charter is a future-of-work media and research company that Delaney co-founded with Erin Grau and Jay Lauf.
This new ownership will combine Charter’s reporting and events with the Standard’s work around technology coverage and how work is being shaped by artificial intelligence.
Charter’s brand, reporting, services, and mission will continue, and its research, journalism, and events will have a new audience in Standard subscribers over time.
Delaney, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and co-founder of Quartz, will be moving to San Francisco.
“Like its many other fans, I’ve been impressed by the ambition, impact, and creativity of The Standard’s journalism and am very excited to be part of a team whose work I love,” he wrote on LinkedIn.
