Lora Kelley

I am a freelance writer in Brooklyn covering tech, economics and books, and I write a biweekly column on language for the New York Times business section. My criticism and essays have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Paris Review, The Drift, The Nation and other publications. I started my career as a researcher with New York Times Opinion's Privacy Project series on surveillance, and I later covered the collapse of FTX and trial of Sam Bankman-Fried for the New York Times and The Atlantic. I have appeared on KQED Forum, BBC World Business, The Brian Lehrer show, Marketplace, and others to discuss my reporting. Below is a selection of my work!
