Anick Jesdanun, longtime AP technology writer

When millions of people read his coverage of the internet and its ripples, Anick Jesdanun made sure they got all the facts and the context they needed. For more than two decades, Jesdanun helped generations of readers understand the emerging internet and its impact on the world. And while his work may have been about screens and computers and virtual networks, Jesdanun’s large life was about the world and exploring all of the corners of it that he could, virtual and physical alike.

Jesdanun, 51, deputy technology editor for The Associated Press, died in New York City on April 2 of coronavirus-related complications.
