Career
Carey began her journalism career in 2006 as a reporter on the Herald's business desk. That year she became the newspaper's technology reporter and produced short video gadget reviews from her home computer's webcam, a series that quickly gained popularity with South Florida readers. In 2008, she began co-authoring Poked with fellow reporter Niala Boodhoo. Carey also wrote the newspaper's technology blog, "Cache and Carey," which was later renamed "The Digital Dish."[7] Her tech reporting earned her the 2011 Green Eyeshade Award.[8]
As viewership of her video reviews increased, the newspaper moved production to its in-house professional studio. The reviews were featured on
While in Miami, she also appeared as a guest for news programs on WLRN-FM,[11] the area's chief public radio station.
She left the newspaper to join CNET in New York as a senior editor in 2011. She hosted "Loaded", CNET's roundup of the day's tech news headlines. She replaced that in April 2012 with a more in-depth daily news program, CNET Update. As of the 11/30/2016 video posting, after 5 years, the CNET Update program will no longer be produced, with Carey expanding into other areas of CNET offerings.[12]
