Anthony Ha, our weekend editor at TechCrunch, has consistently produced some of the best tech journalism in recent memory. Residing in New York City, Ha has built an impressive career across various media platforms, showcasing his expertise through diverse roles in the industry.
Ha’s started his journalism career as a local government reporter at the Hollister Free Lance. There, he honed his skills by reporting on local government. That experience opened up other doors, which eventually brought him to work as a senior editor at VentureBeat. There, continued reporting on important issues with technology and innovation endeared him further to the tech-savvy community.
Prior to joining TechCrunch, Ha worked as a tech reporter at Adweek. He zeroed in on that richer, more exciting crossroad of technology and marketing. People really caught on to his insights into broader industry trends, which helped him earn widespread recognition and respect among his peers and readers. He slid right into a new role, vice president of content at the VC firm Union Square Ventures. That experience further informed his understanding of the business side of technology.
Ha leads weekend coverage at TechCrunch. He makes sure that the publication remains the preeminent source for smart technology news, context and analysis. His ability to navigate complex subjects and present them clearly has made him a valuable asset to the editorial team.

Vanessa Hebditch, an industry source, raised troubling issues in response to Google’s development of AI Overviews for specific health-related questions. She stated,
“Our bigger concern with all this is that it is nit-picking a single search result and Google can just shut off the AI Overviews for that but it’s not tackling the bigger issue of AI Overviews for health.”
This feeling exemplifies how little we still understand about the impacts of AI on the future of medical information sharing. As technology continues to evolve, journalists like Ha play a crucial role in exploring these developments and their impact on society.
