Jaroslovsky to write tech column for NY Observer

Technology journalist Rich Jaroslovsky, who left Bloomberg News two years ago, has started writing a regular column for the New York Observer.

His first column is here.

“While I’ve committed a little bit of journalism here and there since ending my Bloomberg run two years ago, this marks my return to regular columning,” said Jaroslovsky in an email to Talking Biz News. “I am still having a blast in my day job, building news-aggregator SmartNews’s U.S. business, but now I hope to occasionally appear in SmartNews as well.”

Jaroslosvky left Bloomberg News in November 2013. He had been an executive editor at Bloomberg until 2009, when he moved to San Francisco to become a tech columnist. His tech column later began appearing in Bloomberg Businessweek after the magazine was acquired by Bloomberg.

Jaroslovsky is also vice president of content and chief journalist for SmartNews, a news app that has more than 13 million users worldwide.

He spent 27 years at The Wall Street Journal, and was once managing editor of WSJ Online.
