Washington Post tech culture reporter Nitasha Tiku is among the layoffs at the paper on Wednesday.
She joined in 2019 and wrote about the people who lead and shape Silicon Valley culture as well as those who are affected by the wealth, power and practices of tech titans.
Tiku previously was a senior writer for Wired, where she recently wrote a magazine cover story about turmoil inside Google during the Trump administration based on interviews with dozens of current and former employees. Before Wired, she was a staff writer and reporter at BuzzFeed News, The Verge, Valleywag, NYmag.com, The New York Observer and Inc.
She has written about Mark Zuckerberg’s cross-country campaign tour, the intermittent fasting popular among male tech workers, the undemocratic nature of tech philanthropy and a church trying to market religion to software engineers.
Tiku earned a master’s degree in journalism from New York University and studied English and comparative literature as an undergrad at Columbia University.
