Washington Post hires Thadani to cover Apple

Trisha Thadani

Washington Post business editor Lori Montgomery, deputy business editor Christina Passariello and technology industry editor Laura Stevens sent out the following on Monday:

We are thrilled to announce Trisha Thadani is joining The Washington Post to cover Apple.

Trisha comes to The Post after six years at the San Francisco Chronicle. Most recently, she covered homelessness for the City Hall team, focusing on policy and budget decisions. She led a major digital project called “A disaster in plain sight,” in which she and a photographer spent a year following two men struggling with fentanyl addiction — providing an unflinching look at the devastation of San Francisco’s drug crisis. Trisha also spent two years working with the investigations team to expose the city’s failure to provide safe and stable homes for its most vulnerable residents. That series, called “Broken Homes,” inspired a local ballot measure that added an extra layer of oversight on the city’s homelessness department. It won the 2022 Investigative Reporters and Editors award for outstanding watchdog journalism, among other accolades.

Trisha previously spent two years on the business desk, where she covered work-based immigration and broke several stories on the Trump administration’s crackdown on H-1B visas. She traveled to Hyderabad, India, for a story centered on a temple where people prayed for an opportunity to work in the United States.

A New Jersey native, Trisha graduated from Boston University with a degree in journalism. Since moving to San Francisco six years ago, she has completely adopted the West Coast lifestyle — spending much of her winters skiing and summers hiking, biking and camping. She has run three marathons and is training for her fourth. Trisha also spent a year moonlighting as a bartender in San Francisco’s Mission District, where her signature cocktail was called “The Local News.”

Please join us in welcoming Trisha, whose first day is June 5.
