New York Times business reporter Nathaniel Popper is leaving the news organization after nearly 10 years.
“First up, I’ll be finishing my book on WallStreetBets and the rise of retail investing for HarperCollins,” he wrote on LinkedIn. “I’m also co-producing a documentary on a similar theme, The ‘Meme Economy,’ with the fine folks at Optimist Films.”
The book will be told from the perspectives of old-guard hedge funds, social media influences, and the hordes of digitally native young traders, along with the tech founders whose apps made the “big long” possible.
Popper will also be a writer in residence at the Cal-Berkeley Department of Computer Science this coming semester.
Popper writes about technology and finance for the Times. He is the author of “Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money.”
He has been with the Times since March 2012 and previously was with the Los Angeles Times.
