Chang moving from business to food section at LA Times

Andrea Chang

Andrea Chang, who has been assistant business editor, tech reporter and a retail reporter at the Los Angeles Times, is moving to the paper’s food section to become a food writer.

Chang joined the paper in June 2007 as a summer intern and was hired soon after, in October, as a full-time business reporter.

After a Newsweek cover story purported to have found the founder of Bitcoin, Chang was the reporter who debunked that claim.

A graduate of Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, Chang previously interned at the Palo Alto Weekly, the St. Petersburg Times, the Portland Oregonian and the San Jose Mercury News.

She won a 2005 Certificate of Achievement for local spot news for her work at the Mercury.

She speaks Mandarin.
