Quartz hires Coren to cover tech

Quartz editor in chief Kevin Delaney sent out the following announcement to the staff on Friday:

I’m happy to announce that Michael Coren is joining Quartz as a reporter covering technology from our San Francisco bureau, starting March 21.

He will focus on the people and business landscape of Silicon Valley companies large and small—including startups and venture capital—working alongside Alice Truong to expand our coverage of this important area.

Michael most recently was founder of a software startup called Publet, which he has left to return to his deep journalism roots. Michael earlier was managing editor of the Phnom Penh Post in Cambodia, CNN.com’s science producer, and a science, tech, and environment reporter at the Palm Beach Post and San Jose Mercury News. Michael also freelanced for dedicated stretches in Asia and San Francisco for Fast Company, Foreign Policy, the Economist, and other news organizations. And he has worked as a consultant to the World Bank and other organizations on the economics of forests and carbon markets.

Michael has a bachelor’s from Emory University in journalism and environmental science and a master’s in environmental economics from the Yale School of Forestry. He speaks Spanish. You can follow him @mj_coren

Please join me in welcoming Michael.
