Notable Verge traitor (and current occasional Vergecast prognosticator) Joanna Stern is leaving The Wall Street Journal to join the creator world, starting with a YouTube channel. She’s got big plans, which I can only assume include many more terrifying robots living in her house.
We asked the Journal for comment, and got a statement from editor-in-chief Emma Tucker that is so nice I almost don’t want to reprint it, but here it is anyway:
“Joanna’s been a brilliant colleague on our tech beat and on our video team, bringing a sharp, unmistakable energy and voice to our coverage. We’ve loved her distinctive take on the industry, and while we’re sad to see her go, we’re delighted that she’ll continue to contribute for us and we wish her the very best as she heads off on a fresh new adventure.”
