Sarah Jeong (born 1988) is an American journalist specializing in IT law and other technology topics. Jeong is a senior writer for The Verge and in September 2018 will join the editorial board of The New York Times. She was previously a contributing editor for Vice's Motherboard website. She is the author of The Internet of Garbage, a non-fiction book about online harassment.
Early life
Jeong was born in South Korea in 1988[1] and moved to New York City with her parents when she was three years old.[2] She attended the University of California, Berkeley, and Harvard Law School, where she was editor of the Harvard Journal of Law & Gender.[1]
Career
Jeong writes on law, technology and internet culture.[3][4][5][6] She is a senior writer for The Verge and previously served as a contributing editor for Vice's Motherboard section, as well as writing articles for Forbes, the Guardian, and The New York Times.[7][8][9]
In 2014, Jeong and Electronic Frontier Foundation activist Parker Higgins launched a periodic newsletter called "5 Useful Articles",[10] discussing intellectual property issues, current and historical.[11] The newsletter went on hiatus in 2015.
Jeong was a Poynter Fellow in Journalism for 2016 at Yale University for her work covering cybercrime trials.[12] In 2016, Jeong published a book, The Internet of Garbage, on online harassment[13][14] and responses to it by media and online platforms.[15] The book discusses active moderation and community management strategies to improve online interactions.[16] In 2017, Forbes named Jeong to its "30 Under 30" media list.[17]
In August 2018, Jeong was hired by The New York Times to join its editorial board as lead writer on technology, commencing in September.[18] The hiring sparked a strongly negative reaction in conservative media and social media, which highlighted derogatory tweets about white people that Jeong had posted mostly in 2013 and 2014.[19][20] Critics characterized her tweets as being racist; Jeong said that the posts were "counter-trolling" in reaction to harassment she had experienced, and that she regretted adopting that tactic.[19] The Times stated that it had reviewed her social media history before hiring her, and that it did not condone the posts.[19][20]
