Blog: Paul Thurrot Needs To Stop Writing Opinion Columns | |
|
||
| Time: 19:05 EST/00:05 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

In the tech journalism world, there are three types of people: journalists who writes about tech, nerds who write about tech, and nerds who are journalists. Often, you’ll get the best and most reliable information from nerds who write about tech, you’ll get above average information from nerds who are journalists, and you’ll often get inaccurate or poor information from journalists who write about tech. Guess which category Paul Thurrot falls under? Yeah, he’s a journalist who writes about tech. That’s his job: to write stories which will sell subscriptions, and generate ad revenue. I’m not saying he’s completely sold out and only writes for the green, but I am saying that he isn’t always in search of the whole truth and he definitely isn’t worried about giving you the entire story. | ||
