8 Technology News Sites - mediablog.prnewswire.com

We are surrounded by technology.

From gadgets, artificial intelligence, and biotech to smart cars, blockchain, and space travel, technology plays a part in just about every industry.

Tech especially is crucial for journalists, as more than 90 percent of American adults get at least some of their news via mobile and desktops.

And, it’s always evolving.

“The only constant in the technology industry is change,” said Marc Benioff, co-CEO of Salesforce.

It’s a full-time job keeping up with the fast-moving world of tech, so we found several news sites that readers trust to keep them informed of the latest news.

1. TechCrunch

TechCrunch is a trusted source of news on the business side of the tech industry.

Founded in 2005, TechCrunch covers startup and venture capital news, stories on artificial intelligence, mobile apps, video games, and more. The site includes the Crunchbase database, which provides financial data for many technology companies.

TechCrunch also hosts the popular Disrupt conferences around the globe each year.

These events bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and tech leaders looking to change the future of tech across multiple industries.
