      “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.

          A profession in terminal structural decline vs. one that is "eating the world" are inevitably going to be at loggerheads.

          Maybe it will generate some empathy about Wall St in tech industry. Both have issues to deal w/ but improve lives far more than press critics do. FB, Google, Amazon have improved my life as a consumer; tech press or NYT gen negativity + noise & could go away & I wouldn't care.

          I think most startup articles rarely tell a story that benefits those most interested in them—founders! Whether covering the success or failure of a startup all they need to do is explain what happened as accurately as possible. No hyping up or putting down required.

          I've been framing this as "food critic for startups."

          Yes! And to everyone who shares these concerns: we’re building a media outlet w/precisely this mission at Freethink: thoughtful coverage from the frontiers of our changing world, minus the cynicism that dominates much of media. Contributors wanted; DM’s open! 🚀

          Flagging the tech media for 'shallowness' in addition to cynicism is really instructive. There's a generalizable association between 'pessimism' + the 'pretense of journalistic rigor'.
