Damilola Ayeni writes for Tech Cabal about the need for tech reporting to get away from just writing about the business aspects.
Ayeni writes, “Technology is more than boardroom deals and venture capital. It is embedded in everyday life, shaping how people communicate, worship, move, and even think. Yet, tech journalism remains largely stagnant, trapped in business reports that fail to capture the full scope of its subject. In 2023, Twitter was a political force. It nearly delivered Nigeria a president in Peter Obi. But tech journalism largely ignored the story. How did social media shape the elections? How do online movements translate into real-world votes? Why didn’t Obi’s online dominance convert into an outright victory? These are the questions tech journalists should be asking.
“Maiduguri’s recent floods were devastating, yet tech journalists missed the human story. Many who were trapped likely used mobile phones to call for help. Some may have relied on WhatsApp groups, Twitter, or Facebook to coordinate rescue efforts. But did poor telecom infrastructure slow down emergency response? Did people turn to satellite technology or alternative networks when regular signals failed? These are real tech stories, but they don’t make it to the headlines.”
