Tim Peterson

Tim Peterson has been hired by Digiday as a senior media reporter. He starts Feb. 26.

Lucia Moses of Digiday writes, “Tim has a long history of covering digital marketing and media. For the past two years, he’s been a reporter for Third Door Media, publisher of Marketing Land, Search Engine Land and MarTech Today, focusing on the social media platforms. Prior to that, he was a digital media reporter for Ad Age and Adweek, where I had the pleasure of working with him. He’s broken stories on Facebook’s measurement errors, Snapchat’s plans to develop an algorithmic feed and Jason Kilar’s plans to take on YouTube.

“Tim’s experience reporting on media companies, platforms and marketing positions him well to evaluate what industry changes mean for all the stakeholders in this ecosystem. Not only that, he can write code and pull data from companies’ application programming interfaces. He’ll be based in Los Angeles, where he’s from. ”
