For much of the pandemic, shares of tech companies have shown impressive immunity to economic worries, soaring to new heights as Silicon Valley giants reported record earnings.

That fall has left that index, which is seen as a proxy for the tech sector, down more than 9 percent from a high in November, and within 1 percent of entering a correction, which is defined on Wall Street as a drop of more than 10 percent.

A Google spokeswoman, Jennifer Rodstrom, said in a statement on Monday that the matter had nothing to do with unionization but was about employees breaching security protocols.

Judge Bogas ruled in November that Google had improperly characterized 71 of 80 documents sought by the former employees as privileged.

Google must hand over nearly all of those 200 documents, Judge Bogas ruled.

Ms. Ginsberg, a former international correspondent and business journalist at Reuters, is the chief executive of Internews Europe, a nonprofit organization that supports independent media.

She will replace Joel Simon, who led the Committee to Protect Journalists for 15 years before announcing last year that he was stepping down.

“We wanted to find someone who had experience as a journalist and as an advocate,” Kathleen Carroll, the chair of the Committee to Protect Journalists, said in an interview.
