Career

Newton had been covering the Arizona State Legislature for The Arizona Republic, with an interest in technology as a hobby. Kristin Go, a former coworker at The Arizona Republic, invited him to work at the San Francisco Chronicle to cover tech companies and new technology.[3][2] Later, he was a blogger and senior writer for CNET[4][2] until 2013. Afterward, between 2013 and 2020, he covered Silicon Valley at The Verge[5][1] and became a senior editor.[2] During his time at The Verge, he wrote a daily newsletter called The Interface.[6][7] His reporting on the effects of content moderation on workers (resulting in PTSD[8]) has led to a contracting company cutting ties with Facebook.[9]

In 2020, he left to create his own freemium newsletter on Substack called Platformer,[5][1][10] with the paid subscription costing Шаблон:US$ per month.[3] Substack incentivized authors with advances, which Newton turned down, but accepted healthcare stipends.[1] Шаблон:As of, Platformer had 170,000 subscribers to the free edition.[11] In January 2024, Newton decided to move Platformer off Substack to Ghost, in response to Substack's policies and handling of pro-Nazi publications on its platform.[12]

In late 2022, he began a weekly technology news podcast for the New York Times, called Hard Fork, co-hosting with Kevin Roose.[13] Roose, in 2021, praised Newton with having "opinions [that] hold sway among social media executives".[14]
