From 1991 through 2013, Walt Mossberg was the principal technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal. Before turning his attention to technology, he spent 18 years covering national and international affairs in the Journal’s Washington bureau. He is currently Executive Editor of The Verge and Editor-at-Large of Recode, web sites owned by Vox Media. He writes a weekly column for both. Mossberg also has a weekly podcast, Ctrl-Walt-Delete, and is co-executive producer of the annual Code Conference.
With Kara Swisher, Mossberg launched the online publication Re/code and the Recode conference in 2014. Mossberg and Swisher had previously co-produced the D: All Things Digital conference, and had been co-executive editors of the AllThingsD.com Web site since 2007 until the end of 2013.
Mossberg was the first technology writer to win the Loeb Award for Commentary. He holds degrees from Brandeis and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
