Lora Kelley

I am a freelance writer and journalist in Brooklyn covering tech, economics and books, and I write a biweekly column on language for the New York Times business section. I was previously on staff at The Atlantic and The New York Times, and my reporting, 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 Believer, 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 Arte TV, KQED Forum, BBC World Business, The Brian Lehrer show, Marketplace, and others to discuss my reporting. Below is a selection of my work!
