Everyone knows about the Fortune 500. Here’s the Fortune Five — the five reporters that tech PR might want to prioritize.
If you represent a company with an AI story to tell, consider pitching a piece to InfoWorld’s Generative AI Insights blog. Edited by IW executive editor Doug Dineley, Generative AI Insights “provides a venue for technology leaders to explore and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by generative artificial intelligence.”
You may know James Rundle as the bass player in the NY-based punk rock band called Something Bitter. James is best known as a reporter for the WSJ Pro cybersecurity vertical.
Venture capital reporter Natasha Mascarenhas loves to share, and people care. Perhaps you are among her 46,000 followers on Twitter. Few can post a Tweet like this and get 37 likes and almost 9,500 views.
Victor Dey is a data scientist who discovered tech journalism. Often it’s the other way around. In any case, VentureBeat gets the win: Victor writes between 20 and 30 stories a month about AI, data science and cybersecurity — three of the most important beats in B2B — and he does it with authority.
More often than not, studying a reporter’s copy reveals much about the man or woman who wrote it. That’s just not the case with WSJ CIO Journal reporter Isabelle Bousquette.
TechTarget news writer Esther Ajao covers AI software and systems for SearchEnterpriseAI and occasionally for SearchCustomerExperience. Until she arrived at TechTarget in Sept. 2021, Esther had valuable internships in the TV business but no tech media experience whatever.

The UK-based newsletter company called Trending Now uses AI to scrape what’s trending across 27 areas of B2B. Press Gazette has additional detail. The company employs ten, none of whom are journalists (by traditional definition).
The full union membership needs to ratify it on July 24, but it looks like no editors can be laid off or suffer a salary cut if the publication goes big in its use of generative AI. More detail here from Neiman.
Goldman Sachs took 32 pages to say pretty much that. The media business may turn out to be an outlier, an industry perfectly suited to synthetic, multilingual words, sounds and images at scale. As for everyone else, well, the global consultancies will learn the truth first because they have rushed to monetize Gen AI — they aren’t yet succeeding.
