Sarah Jeong (born 1988) is a South Korean-born American journalist specializing in legal and technology topics. In 2018, Jeong joined the editorial board of The New York Times. She has previously written for The Verge and Vice's Motherboard section, and has also written articles for Forbes, the Guardian and The New York Times.

Early life

Jeong attended the University of California Berkeley and Harvard Law School, where she was editor of Harvard Journal of Law & Gender.

Career

In March, 2014 she launched with EFF activist Parker Higgins a periodic newsletter titled 5 Useful Articles that offered a wry take on intellectual property issues, current and historical. The newsletter went on hiatus in 2015. She writes on technology and internet culture, including a book, The Internet of Garbage, on online harassment and responses to it by media and online platforms.

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

Jeong was appointed to the New York Times editorial board on August 1, 2018. Upon being appointed to the editorial board of the New York Times, Mrs. Jeong's past tweets drew closer inspection. Many insenstivie tweets towards white people were discovered which led some to believe that Mrs. Jeong has a history of racist tweets.

Racially insensitive tweets

Jeong has posted a number of tweets displaying anti-white animus, including "Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants", "1) white men are bullshit ..." , "oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men" , and "I dare you to get on Misplaced Pages and play 'Things white people can definitely take credit for,' it's really hard."
