The Information hires Facebook reporter

Cory Weinberg, a real estate reporter at the San Francisco Business Times, has been hired by The Information to cover Facebook, its impact on consumers and business, and other trends in tech and business.

He starts his new job on Dec. 14.

“The real estate and housing beat at the Business Times has been fascinating and rewarding, but I became really curious about the business of tech companies and how they’re driving the economy,” said Weinberg in an email to Talking Biz News. “The Information has a vision for explaining how those companies tick, and it’s exciting.”

Weinberg has been with the Business Times since August 2014. He previously worked at Bloomberg BusinessWeek and at the Chronicle of Higher Education.

He is a graduate of George Washington University, where he was editor of the student newspaper.
