Technology Journalists, Trend Setters



Great article about how tech journalists are often at the bleeding edge of, well, tech-enabled journalism:
"Why, though? Because technology is the second-fastest changing field in news (after fashion). You'd watch what the fashion writers are wearing to find out what's going to be in next season. It's the same with technology, but with a longer timelag."

That's all very well and good, except for the fact that far too many know absolutely nothing about technology. Having worked on a prominent UK tech publication recently, I was asked by one of their senior writers if I knew anything about a whole selection of material he needed to write articles on, because, as he himself admitted, he knew nothing. Even the editor had only just recently moved from a leisure and food publication.So you have to be particular about who you read, otherwise all you're getting is regurgitated press releases, and it's pretty obvious why _they_ would be ahead of the curve.
