Jade-Ruyu Yan 閻如玉
I'm an investigative journalist from Hong Kong, currently working as an investigative tech reporter for openDemocracy and Tech Policy Press. I have a particular interest in corporate influence.
I was previously an open-source researcher and reporter with Project Brazen, and a business reporter focusing on corporate ethics for Ad Age. My journalism has also been published in The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun-Times, Crain's Chicago Business, The South Side Weekly, The Peoria-Journal Star, Being Patient, The Associated Press, City Bureau, and other publications.
