Joanna Stern Launches New Things

Discover something new

Well it took her long enough. Tech writer and enthusiast Joanna Stern has launched New Things With Joanna Stern, her new site for delivering all the new things she discovers in tech. 

A headline and article byline above a fun, cartoon illustration. The headline reads, "It’s Time. Meet My New Thing." with a subheadline below that reads, "A new kind of independent tech journalism. Newsletters! Videos! Fun!". Below that is a small headshot of Joanna Stern and the byline: "Joanna Stern Apr 22, 2026 . 6 min read". The central image in the bottom half of the graphic is a large blue rectangle containing the text: "NEW THINGS WITH JOANNA STERN". It is surrounded by cartoon icons: a woman’s face on a phone, an arrow pointing right, a cartoon smiley face inside a square, a star, a speech bubble with three dots, a mouse pointer, a floating laptop, a speech bubble with parallel lines, another star, a lightning bolt, a microphone, an arrow pointing up-left, a battery, an arrow pointing up-right, and a search bar with a magnifying glass at the end.

I’ve been a fan of Joanna’s work since back in the days when we were all reviewing netbooks and followed her work on Engadget, The Verge, The Wall Street Journal and various other places including ABC News. 

I highly recommend you give her new site a look see, because not only does Joanna discover and report on intriguing new tech, she’s one of the most, if not the most entertaining in delivering the goods. I’ve subscribed and look forward to following along on this, her next new thing.
