Karen Weise,

Karen Weise is a technology correspondent for The New York Times, based in Seattle. She covers Amazon and Microsoft, two of the most powerful companies in America with a growing influence on society. This includes breaking news, in-depth features, and investigations aimed at informing the public discussion. Before joining The Times in 2018, Karen worked for Bloomberg Businessweek and Bloomberg News. Her stories were recognized by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and the Society of Publishers in Asia. She previously reported at the nonprofit investigative newsroom ProPublica, where her work on a bungled homeowners program in the foreclosure crisis was a finalist for an Investigative Reporters and Editors award. Karen holds degrees from the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism and Yale University. She adheres to The Times' extensive ethical standards and does not have any direct investments in companies that might figure into her coverage. She protects the anonymity of sources who share important information with her and verifies what they tell her with other sources and, ideally, documentation. Karen welcomes tips from people with firsthand knowledge of the companies she writes about, including current and former employees and partners.
