Kevin Roose

I’m a technology columnist for The New York Times, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and a co-host of the Times tech podcast, “Hard Fork.”

What I Cover

I write and podcast about the technologies that influence our lives, our culture and our society. Recently, that’s meant a lot of coverage of A.I. and its implications, but I’ve also spent years reporting on social media, online extremism, cryptocurrency and other subjects.

My Background

I’ve covered technology for more than a decade, and have been a columnist at The Times since 2017. Before that, I was a columnist at New York magazine and the host and producer of “Real Future,” a documentary TV series about technology and innovation. I’ve written three books, including my latest, “Futureproof,” a survival guide for humans in the age of artificial intelligence. I live in the Bay Area with my family.

Journalistic Ethics

In accordance with The Times’s ethics policy, I don’t have a direct financial stake in any companies I cover. I don’t own individual stocks or invest in tech start-ups, and I don’t accept money or gifts from any companies or people who might figure into my reporting. I don’t pay sources for information or interviews, and before speaking with people, I generally try to agree on whether our conversation will be “on the record,” “on background,” or some other designation. (For a full explanation of what these terms mean to me, please see the Source FAQ on my website.)

I’m very bad at responding to email, but you can certainly try. (I’m not going to put my email address here — sorry, scraper bots — but it’s firstname dot lastname [at] nytimes.com.)
