The 59 most important tech reporters

Sean Czarnicki of Insider has compiled a list of the 59 most important technology reporters in business journalism.

Czarnick writes, “Technology is one of the most dynamic beats in journalism today. Outlets like The Washington Post are expanding their tech teams, new publications like Protocol are launching, and established journalists like Casey Newton are striking out on their own to chronicle the inner workings of tech companies and how tech is changing politics, business, and culture.

“But keeping track of these journalists and what they cover is difficult for public relations pros, given how quickly coverage areas change.

“Insider identified 59 of the most influential tech journalists working today through our original reporting. We leaned toward reporters known for authoritative scoops, investigations, and profiles that have had big impacts, like federal or internal investigations, the introduction of legislation, or wide social reach.

“The journalists come from established tech publications like TechCrunch, mainstream news giants like The New York Times, and startups and solo practitioners like Protocol and Eric Newcomer, respectively.”
