Telecom and tech reporter Roger Cheng and media reporter Nat Worden are both leaving Dow Jones Newswires.

Cheng has accepted a job with CNET, while Worden is becoming an associate at Clear Harbor Asset Management, an New York-based investment advisory firm.

Cheng has worked for Dow Jones for nearly a decade, primarily to help cover smart phones and other products from the hottest tech companies. With CNET, he is staying in New York to cover mobile companies and will start on July 5.

Before joining Dow Jones in 2008, Worden covered macroeconomics and the Federal Reserve for TheStreet.com, where he also spent time covering media, the U.S. auto industry, retail and personal finance.

Worden wrote the web site’s ongoing satirical column “The Five Dumbest Things On Wall Street This Week,” produced online video content and won a New York Press Club award for a series of investigative stories that examined the investment portfolios and business dealings of major presidential candidates in the early days of the primary.
