Project: Tech is dedicated to providing and discussing quality coverage of technology and related subjects on WikiTribune. For related Projects go to ‘See Also’ below. Guidelines, tips, and ideas are all mutable so please edit and improve. You can pitch ideas on the TALK page, or for more topical issues, on the Daily News Agenda.
Rough guidelines and tips:
- Avoid ‘the next big thing’ reporting – every tech company thinks their invention is sliced bread.
- If reporting on the impact of a subject, consider this from multiple perspectives and clearly differentiate fact from conjecture.
- Examine the source carefully. Reports or information given out at press junkets or conferences may significantly vary from the reality of the situation
- Simplify concepts without leaving out important detail – the reader may not understand coding or hardware but can grasp the underlying story
Before creating your story, remember to check out our how-to guide, style guidelines, and a list of sources most trusted by the WikiTribune staff.
