Since 2017 she has been covering technology for the New York Times in the San Francisco Bay Area.[16][17] In 2020 she was awarded the prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award along with two colleagues for her investigation into online child abuse; according to editor Dean Murphy, their "deep, persistent and compassionate reporting" served to "hold both government and big tech accountable, and tell the stories of untold children who have endured this abuse in silence."[18] She covers the technology and business world of hi-tech startups and venture capital, and she has written about personalities such as Elon Musk,[19] Eric Schmidt,[19][6] and iHeartMedia CEO Bob Pittman.[20] She covered the exclusive conference of technology CEOs called Further Future,[21] and has written about subjects such as doxxing[22] and cryptocurrencies.[23] She appeared twice on the Charlie Rose nationally broadcast television interview show.[24] Her reporting is often controversial; for example, her account of her interview with Jordan Peterson attracted much attention.[25][26][27][28] She has moderated televised discussions on the subject of free speech in the digital age,[29] and she has written about gender equality in the tech world.[30] She takes temporary breaks from addictive technologies such as social media with a practice dubbed dopamine fasting.[31]
