Lora Kelley
I write about business for the The New York Times, where I am a member of the 2022-2023 fellowship class. My writing on technology, business and cultural change has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, The Nation, Vox, Mother Jones, GQ and The Drift, among other publications. I was previously on the editorial staff of the Times Opinion section, where I was a researcher on the Privacy Project and edited essays on AI, work and incarceration. During college, I was an intern with McSweeneys and The Believer.
