    “will anyone ever write another positive story about a tech startup? i said probably not” — i rarely agree with erin, but her comments here do succinctly illustrate tech’s frustration with the media. silly to work with people professionally committed to attacking you.https://twitter.com/eringriffith/status/1229589453183713280 …

        There is an opportunity here for a new journalistic outlet covering tech. The problem with the negative coverage is not its negativity per se so much as its shallowness. It's so predictable. There is an unexploited opportunity to go deep into the ideas.

        One source of this conflict is one side sees technology as an evolving dynamic organism that is a *system* built over time and the other side doesn’t. See punditry reactions to the recent FB book. It illustrates this disconnect perfectly.

        The media also can't face in its own complicity in the 2016 election, and so it needs to project its anger on to tech companies. https://jakeseliger.com/2018/11/14/is-there-an-actual-facebook-crisis-or-media-narrative-about-facebook-crisis … I wonder how many media companies have embraced Linux and quit Facebook.

        This, in no small part, is why tech companies are increasingly building their own audiences exclusive of media channels.
