Jordan Pryce

Jordan Pryce came to journalism after six years in software development at a series of Chicago-area technology companies, a period she describes as “formative in ways I am not currently at liberty to elaborate on.” Her transition to the press was, in her words, “mutually agreed upon and ultimately beneficial for all parties involved” — a characterization that at least one former employer has declined to confirm or deny on the record.

She covers the intersection of startup culture, pop culture, and the broader category of things that seemed like good ideas at the time. Her work appears primarily in the Dispatch’s Technology and Business sections, and occasionally in News when an event resists easy categorization. She holds a B.S. in Computer Science from DePaul, a working knowledge of international animal transport regulations she has never fully explained, and strong opinions about commercial building security systems that she declines to share in a professional context.

Jordan lives in Fulton Market, walks to work, and has asked that her office location not be listed in her staff profile.
