“I’m thrilled for the opportunity,” said Drange in an email. “I’ll be working with their new investigative editor, Matt Doig, covering all things tech/Silicon Valley.”

Drange has been covering the businesses of President Donald Trump. Before that, Drange covered tech and money and power in Silicon Valley.

He previously covered  Silicon Valley for the Center for Investigative Reporting, a position he has held since September 2012. Before moving to the Bay Area, he covered politics for the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting. Drange started his career at the Eureka Times-Standard.

Drange was a Loeb finalist in 2015 in the explanatory reporting category, and he won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers Best in Business Award for his coverage of Superfund sites in Silicon Valley.
