    Career[edit]

    Before becoming a technology journalist, she worked at the Associated Press. Looking to get away from the negative aspects covering of hard news, she moved to California and took a job at MacHome Journal, where she said she discovered that she had always been a geek. She worked at CNET from 2000 to 2013, first as an editor. She later co-hosted the Buzz Out Loud podcast, "The Buzz Report", a web-based news show, and Always On, a talk show.[2] She joined The New York Times in 2014 as a deputy technology editor.[4] The following year, Wood became a tech correspondent and backup host for the US public radio program Marketplace and its various spinoffs.[5] There, she co-hosted the Make Me Smart[6] and Marketplace Tech podcasts. She left Marketplace in 2021 to join Launch, a venture capital firm, where she was a podcaster and investor.[7] She left in March 2023 to found Molly Wood Media, an "angel investing and startup advisory firm".[8]
