Our Staff

Deshawn Cole covers the recommendation engines that decide what a billion people believe before breakfast. He has never once been shown the ad he actually wanted.

Ingrid Halvorsen files on journalistic standards with the warmth of a Scandinavian winter and twice the clarity. Editors fear her follow-up questions more than their publishers.

Marty Fishbein has covered late night, sketch, and satire for two decades and still laughs at roughly one joke per fiscal quarter. He considers this generous.

Renata Voss has edited three newsrooms into profitability and two into the ground, and maintains the ratio is industry-standard. She reads corrections columns the way other people read obituaries.

Yuki Tanaka covers the streaming wars and the platforms hosting them with the patience of someone who has read every terms-of-service update since 2019. She regrets this expertise.
