Michael Núñez

Editor and investigative journalist focused on artificial intelligence and enterprise technology. I lead VentureBeat’s editorial coverage and guide distributed teams to deliver clear, trustworthy reporting for a global audience.

My reporting has helped shape how the public understands the tech industry—most notably an investigation into Facebook’s news curation practices that prompted a U.S. Senate inquiry and was entered into the Congressional Record. I specialize in translating complex technical work into accurate, accessible stories that stand up to scrutiny.

I’ve worked across premier newsrooms—Forbes, Mashable, Gizmodo, and Popular Science—and also operated inside venture capital at Playground Global, bridging newsroom rigor with how frontier technology actually gets built and funded.
