Matt Lynley, a tech writer with VentureBeat in San Francisco, has been hired by BusinessInsider.com to expand its tech coverage.

Lynley will move to New York later this year, but he will also recommend tech writers to BusinessInsider.com, which wants to build a presence on the West Coast.

“I still think VB has awesome games coverage, and they have a killer team on the West Coast,” said Lynley in an e-mail to Talking Biz News.

He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, where he studied business journalism, math and physics, in May 2010. He has reported for Reuters as an intern.

At VentureBeat, he writes about venture capitalism, clean technology and video games. However, in the past week, he has been covering Apple and the iPhone 4S.
