New York Times Hires Goel To Boost Tech Coverage

Vindu Goel, one of Silicon Alley’s top tech biz reporters, was just poached by the New York Times to shore up their technology coverage. He’s been named to the newly created position of deputy technology editor — and, says Larry Ingrassia, “it’s a job that Vindu is particularly well suited to do, given his range of experience in overseeing business and tech coverage, and his passion and vision for Web journalism.” Goel, who is currently a columnist and blogger for the San Jose Mercury News, will be working with Damon Darlin, David Gallagher and Kevin McKenna.

Goel’s a wunderkind of sorts; he earned some of his first bylines as a college intern for the Times and worked at the Wall Street Journal before starting at the Merc and working his way up to columnist.
