The Wall Street Journal has hired Farhad Manjoo, a top Silicon Valley journalist, as a technology columnist.

He currently writes for Slate and Fast Company, where he covered the rise of Facebook and management transition at Apple.

At the WSJ, the 35-year-old will write two columns per-week on trends, people and new products.

Jonathan Krim, global tech editor, told the WSJ “Digits” blog that Manjoo “will be sharing his deep knowledge, analytical eye and writing flair with our readers.”

Manjoo also has contributed to Wired, New York Times and National Public Radio.
