SF Chronicle biz editor Thomas to start writing newsletter

Owen Thomas

Owen Thomas, the business editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, is going to start writing the newspaper’s technology newsletter Tech Chronicle.

The newsletter will come out once a week on Wednesdays.

“I’m going to offer a mix of behind-the-scenes on the San Francisco Chronicle’s business and technology coverage and my insights on San Francisco and Silicon Valley,” said Thomas in a newsletter. “I might even throw in a quote or two for my old-school Ditherati followers, and some links to what we’re reading and writing.”

Tech Chronicle currently is a link-based newsletter.

Thomas is a long-time observer of the technology industry. Previously, Thomas was the editor-in-chief of ReadWrite, a technology news site. His digital experience includes serving as the West Coast Editor of Business Insider, executive editor at the Daily Dot, and managing editor of Gawker Media’s Valleywag. Before that, he served in various roles at Time Inc.’s Business 2.0 magazine, the Red Herring, and Wired.
