Forbes media columnist moving to San Francisco

Jeff Bercovici, a media reporter for Forbes magazine out of New York, will be moving to its San Francisco office early next year.

In an email to Talking Biz News, Bercovici writes:

Basically, I’ll be moving out shortly after the new year to become a senior editor in our San Francisco bureau. The focus will be covering the big platform companies like Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo but I’ll be looking for all kinds of interesting stories about the technology business, the people who drive it and the culture around it. It’s a pretty natural transition – two of the three cover stories I’ve done for Forbes have been about Tumblr and Twitter.

Before Forbes, Bercovici was the media columnist for the business website DailyFinance. Before that, he created a media blog for Conde Nast Portfolio.

Earlier, he was part of the re-relaunch team for Radar magazine, where he wrote about media, entertainment and politics, and he also spent a couple of years co-writing the media column in WWD.

He is a Cornell University graduate.
