Tech Times

What Tech Times does

Tech Times is a privately-held digital media publication operated by Tech Times Media Inc. and headquartered at 211 East 43rd Street in New York City. Founded in 2000, the company runs a single integrated science and technology news website at techtimes.com covering technology, science, health, business, culture, and deals/reviews as a unified editorial conversation rather than separate beats. The publication differentiates through depth of reporting, following stories across disciplines and producing practitioner-level coverage aimed at both general readers and STEM professionals, with newsroom operations spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia.

The core product is a digital content management and web publishing platform that distributes free articles, graphics, and stock quotes to anonymous users, with optional free registration unlocking a newsletter, a user area, and ad cubes. There is no mobile app, no public API, no SDK, and no disclosed proprietary technology stack beyond standard CMS and third-party ad serving (DoubleClick). Revenue is generated entirely through display advertising and FTC-compliant affiliate marketing commissions; there is no subscription tier, no paywall, and no enterprise contract layer. Editorial leadership includes Publisher Jay B. Yang and Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Tseng, supported by a Deputy Editor and three senior editors across Technology, Science & Health, and Business.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: Tech Times drives readership through organic search, social referrals across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, Flipboard, and Pocket, and an email newsletter for registered users. The company is independently operated with no venture capital, private equity, or parent company involvement disclosed in the source data, and reports no funding rounds, acquisitions, patents, or regulatory actions.
