Cecilia Kang Biography

Cecilia Kang is a national technology correspondent for The New York Times, specializing in the intersection of technology and public policy. Kang has more than 20 years of experience in journalism, covering U.S. and international technology, economics, and business news. Her career began as a bureau chief for Associated Press-Dow Jones in Seoul, South Korea, before serving as a staff writer for San Jose Mercury and as a senior technology correspondent at The Washington Post, ultimately joining The New York Times.

At The New York Times, Kang reports on regulatory issues including privacy, cybersecurity, antitrust, and the digital divide. While at The Washington Post, she covered internet policies at the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission, examining how regulations affect businesses and consumers. Kang has reported on regulatory investigations involving Apple, Google, and Amazon, and has interviewed executives such as Tim Cook of Apple, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, and Reed Hastings of Netflix. Her reporting also addresses the global competition in artificial intelligence and lobbying efforts by technology companies to influence regulation.

Kang is the co-author of "An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination," a New York Times bestseller that examines the social media company's role in spreading misinformation, inciting violence, and impacting democracy. The book is based on extensive interviews with sources at Facebook and explores how company policies prioritize growth, allowing the spread of disinformation and harmful rhetoric. "An Ugly Truth" is recognized as a significant account in technology journalism.

Kang was part of a team at The New York Times that received the Gerald Loeb and George Polk awards for coverage of Facebook and were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. She regularly appears on national television, radio, and The New York Times podcasts "The Daily" and "Hard Fork" as a commentator on technology and entertainment. Kang has delivered public lectures and commencement addresses, contributing to discussions on the societal impact of technology.
