Nearly all aspects of our lives rely on technology — and that’s only continued to increase during a global pandemic. Technology powers how we do business, it’s changed how we shop and it delivers instant entertainment.
Technology reporters stay ahead of what’s next to help us get the most out of our life and work. They cover some of the most powerful companies, critique and explain all kinds of innovation and keep up with Internet culture and policy that shapes our online (and IRL) worlds.
On Wednesday, Dec. 8, from noon to 1 p.m., the National Press Club’s Communicators Team will host a Lunch & Learn program featuring leading technology journalists. The session will explore how reporters and editors decide what to cover, how to cover it and how communicators can provide the most value for technology journalists.
