The Role of Unconscious Bias in Shaping Tech Narratives

Unconscious bias subtly, yet significantly, influences tech journalism. These biases, which stem from a journalist's social background, education, and personal experiences, can affect which technologies are covered, how they're discussed, and whose voices are amplified. Being aware of these biases allows journalists to critically reflect on their reporting processes and actively seek to balance their narratives, promoting a more inclusive and fair portrayal of tech developments.
