Walter S. Mossberg (born March 27, 1947) is an American journalist who was, from 1991 through 2013, the principal technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal. Mossberg is currently Executive Editor of The Verge and Editor-at-Large of Recode, web sites owned by Vox Media. Mossberg writes a weekly column for both and also has a weekly podcast, Ctrl-Walt-Delete. Mossberg is also co-executive producer of the annual Code Conference.
Dow Jones announced on September 19, 2013, that Mossberg would leave The Wall Street Journal as part of the breakup with AllThingsD by the end of the year. AllThingsD was a technology conference and web site owned by Dow Jones but created and operated by Mossberg and Kara Swisher. Along with other reporters from AllThingsD, Mossberg and Swisher started a new media site called Recode in 2014, which was acquired by Vox Media in 2015.
In April 2017, Mossberg announced his plans to retire in June 2017.
Mossberg, a native of Warwick, Rhode Island, is a graduate of Brandeis University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
Mossberg was a reporter and editor at The Wall Street Journal from 1970 until the end of 2013. He was based in the Journal's Washington, D.C., office, where he spent 18 years covering national and international affairs before turning his attention to technology. Mossberg's Personal Technology column appeared every Thursday from 1991 through 2013. He also edited the Digital Solution column each Wednesday (authored by his colleague, Katherine Boehret), and wrote the Mossberg's Mailbox column on Thursdays. He appears weekly on CNBC, and in web video reports, and formerly provided commentary in a segment on PC World's Digital Duo, a computer program airing on PBS stations.
