TechCrunch, the world’s largest technology news website, today announced important editorial appointments that will further strengthen its award-winning technology reporting. Anthony Ha, who recently moved into the weekend editor role, brings a few years’ worth of expertise with him. Based in San Francisco, Ha’s career spans multiple esteemed publications, including Fortune, The Verge, Bloomberg, MIT Technology Review, and CBS Interactive. He’s well-known for his role as a tech reporter at Adweek. On top of that, he was a senior editor at VentureBeat.
Prior to joining CR, Ha reported on local government accountability at the Hollister Free Lance. Previously, he was the vice president and head of content for a venture capital incubator. This role provided him a first of its kind perspective on the intersection of technology and finance. This extensive experience positions Ha to effectively oversee TechCrunch’s weekend content, ensuring it remains relevant and engaging for its audience.
We are thrilled to welcome Maxwell Zeff aboard as our first senior AI reporter. Zeff zeroes in on the fast-moving, wild-west world of AI technologies. Their mission is to deliver deep analysis and smart journalism that meets the increasing demand to understand this space. His prior stints at Gizmodo, Bloomberg and MSNBC helped him develop a robust technology journalism pedigree.
Both Ha and Zeff’s appointments could hardly come at a more important time, as the tech industry grapples with extraordinary challenges and opportunities. The rise of artificial intelligence, coupled with shifts in startup funding and government regulations, creates a dynamic landscape for tech reporting. Ha and Zeff’s experience will be crucial in steering through these intricacies and keeping the public informed of critical challenges and breakthroughs.
