Sarah Jeong (born 1988) is an American journalist specializing in law and technology topics. Jeong is a senior writer for The Verge and in September 2018 joins the editorial board of The New York Times. She was previously a contributing editor for Vice's Motherboard section.

Early life

Jeong was born in South Korea and moved to the borough of Queens in New York City with her parents when she was three years old. She attended the University of California Berkeley and Harvard Law School, where she was editor of Harvard Journal of Law & Gender.

Career

Jeong writes on law, technology and internet culture. 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. In 2014, Jeong and Electronic Frontier Foundation activist Parker Higgins launched a periodic newsletter called "5 Useful Articles", offering a wry take on intellectual property issues, current and historical. The newsletter went on hiatus in 2015. In 2016, Jeong published a book, The Internet of Garbage, on online harassment and responses to it by media and online platforms. The book discusses active moderation and community management strategies to improve online interactions.

In 2017, Forbes named Jeong to its "30 Under 30" media list.

In August 2018, Jeong was hired by The New York Times to join its editorial board and to be its lead writer on technology, commencing in September. 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. 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. The Times said that it had reviewed her social media posts before hiring her, and that it did not condone the posts.
