Goel to become NYT deputy technology editor

Vindu Goel is leaving the San Jose Mercury News after almost nine years as an editor, editorial writer, blogger and columnist to become a deputy technology editor at The New York Times.

"As I talked to folks at the NYT, it was clear to me that the organization has come a long way from the stodgy “gray lady” that I interned at 20 years ago. The Times, which has always been a great newspaper, is thinking creatively about new ways to present news and connect with readers, and it’s committing resources to the effort even as it wrestles with the same economic pressures that face the entire newspaper industry. I’d love to hear your ideas about how the Times can cover technology better, in print and online. Be as radical as you want."
