The Impact of Sourcing on Neutrality in Tech Journalism

The sources journalists choose to cite and the voices they decide to amplify can greatly impact the perceived neutrality of their reporting. Relying heavily on sources from a particular demographic or industry sector can skew perspectives and reinforce existing biases. Broadening the pool of sources, including underrepresented voices, and critically evaluating the influence of each source can help mitigate bias and enhance the neutrality of tech journalism.
