Don Clark
Technology journalist Don Clark, who joined The Wall Street Journal in 1993, has accepted the paper’s buyout offer and will be leaving the paper next month.
His last day is Dec. 15. The Journal offered buyouts to its staff last month as a way to avoid layoffs. Clark is the first journalist Talking Biz News has confirmed on the buyout list.
Clark serves as a deputy bureau chief and reporter in the Journal’s San Francisco bureau. He has covered technology since 1980, currently focusing for the Journal on semiconductors and component companies. He is also interested in startups and in intellectual property and antitrust issues.
He previously worked at the San Francisco Chronicle covering tech from March 1986 to November 1993 and at the St. Paul Pioneer Press from September 1980 to March 1986.
Clark has a bachelor’s degree from UCLA and a master’s degree in journalism from the University of Minnesota.
