Wong returns to reporting for BuzzFeed

Venessa Wong

Venessa Wong, deputy business and tech editor at BuzzFeed, is returning to reporting and will now cover money and how it’s spent.

On LinkedIn, Wong wrote, “I’m interested in student loans, housing, childcare, credit cards, health care costs, and scams. But mostly this: Who is harmed by our financial systems? How? Why?”

She has been at BuzzFeed since May 2015 and initially covered food, beverage, and restaurant companies.

Before BuzzFeed, Wong worked at Bloomberg Businessweek as an associate editor. She also spent four years in China.
