About Jenna Wortham

Jenna Wortham covers start-ups and digital culture for The New York Times and previously for Wired.com, Vogue, and Bust, commenting on technology as it relates to current events, culture impact, and societal norms. In a PI.co interview, the writer called her “the voice of the Snapchat generation, throwing herself into the change before making it a story." At the NYTimes, she’s evolved the “Old Gray Lady" for the future, appealing especially to young women and people of color who’ve felt uninvited to the conversation previously. With 573k followers, Jenna live-tweets conferences, makes memes, and fawns over Erykah Badu, while remaining an expert on the digital landscape.
