Many thanks for the recommendations. I just checked and I didn’t know any of them, so they are added to the list. I love to see how things are made, a little bit like the series “Home” in Apple TV+ and the great Simone Giertz on YouTube. Her video with “Truckla” is something else. 😄
Melissa Hehe, that is so true. And I love when she writes about topics that are not tech-related. For example, the other day she published an opinion piece about Dave Chappelle regarding his latest special for Netflix.
In the same vein as Swisher, I recommend two other names - they do influence the public perception with their investigations bringing truth to so many different aspects of society.
Ronan Farrow and his investigations for The New Yorker. His reporting on Harvey Weinstein, Britney Spears and Andrew Cuomo are journalistic excellence. If you have the opportunity, there’s also an amazing series on HBO called “Catch and Kill: The Podcast Tapes”. It’s a masterclass in investigative reporting.
The second name is Ben Smith. I started following his work when he was Editor in Chief of BuzzFeed News, but now he has an even bigger and better platform: The New York Times. He investigates and reports topics related to media. They are brutal, as you can read here about Axel Springer, the company that now owns Politico.
