We are very pleased to announce that Meaghan Tobin will be joining the Business desk as the Asia technology correspondent.

Meaghan comes to us from The Washington Post, where she wrote about China’s growing influence from Taipei. Before that, she was a reporter at the nonprofit tech media start-up Rest of World and at The South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, where she covered news in Asia and the Pacific.

She will be based in Taipei, where she will join Chris Buckley, Paul Mozur and Amy Chang Chien. Meaghan has spent five years living between Taiwan, Hong Kong and China, as a student and now as a journalist.

Meaghan’s reporting will be focused on China, but her stories, and her curiosity, will allow her to connect thematic dots to other parts of Asia, Europe and the United States. She will work daily with Rich Barbieri in Seoul and Pui-Wing Tam and her tech group based in San Francisco, as well as International desk editors including Gillian Wong, our China editor, and the other Times journalists working in Seoul and throughout Asia, led by the Asia editor, Doug Schorzman.

Meaghan is a graduate of New York University and The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. She is in the tenth year of what she expects will be a lifelong journey of learning Mandarin. Meaghan loves to cook with friends, long ago worked as a pastry chef and can occasionally still be found proofing a brioche while on deadline.

We look forward to her joining the team.
