Tech news site Protocol has hired Barron’s tech reporter Max Cherney to cover semiconductors.
He will start next month.
Before Barron’s, Cherney was with Dow Jones sister company MarketWatch.com and had covered public pot companies.
He previously covered e-commerce for IBD, with a focus on Amazon, and most recently was a staffer for J, the Jewish news weekly of northern California, where he investigated the rise in anti-Semitism at Bay Area schools since the election.
Cherney is originally from Toronto, Canada, and attended Trent University in Ontario before receiving an MFA at California College of the Arts. He has the Canadian equivalent of a Series 7 license and has been building his own computers since childhood.
